The request came from the Cascade Water Alliance, which buys water from Seattle Public Utilities.
Cascade Water Alliance has instructed Bellevue to begin the voluntary phase of the city's Water Shortage Management Plan in support of water conservation efforts enacted by SPU, which sells water to Cascade. Water use reductions are necessary to stretch the region's water supply until"significant and sustained rainfall" can replenish the mountain reservoirs, according to a release from the city.
In addition, a warm stretch in spring melted snowpack early. Melted snowpack moved quickly through rivers to Puget Sound, rather than taking time to soak into the ground and reservoirs, with impacts felt across the state.
