The Water Stewardship Program

The Water Stewardship program aims at diving DEEP into our community to promote aquifer awareness and water wise education. The goals of the Water Stewardship are:

• Development of Community Pride in Sustaining a Valuable Natural Resource
• Encouragement of a Community Driven Action
• Education of Wise and Efficient Water Use
• Protection of a Limited Sole Source

The Mayor, Mary Verner, along with the City of Spokane’s Water Stewardship Program promote responsible use of our valuable resources. Our partnership with the Spokane Chief’s helps inform our citizens how to use our water wisely.
