Capital Improvement: The ten-year water system plan.
In 2022, the Camano Water Association (CWA) completed a comprehensive system analysis and developed a strategic plan outlining its programs and initiatives for the next decade. This Water System Plan includes detailed assessments of key components such as water supply capacity, legal water rights, well production, wellhead protection measures, treatment infrastructure, and the distribution network—including pumps and pipelines.

To review the plan, contact the CWA office at info@camanowater.com or (360) 387-9136. Read more about CIP here
