Welcome to our site! We invite you to share our goals for protection of the resources in our area from contamination, including Liberty Lake, Spokane River, and the Spokane Valley-Rathdrum Prairie Aquifer.
MISSION STATEMENT To restore the lake, in 1973 area residents voted to form this special purpose district government as duly authorized by Washington State law. Our mission is public sewer and water service through leadership to preserve and protect the aquifer, river, and lake; serving people and the environment. To assure pure drinking water and effectively treated wastewater we maintain the highest security, safety, construction practices, operating standards, low rates and fiscal responsibility. We serve as an advocate and clearinghouse for lake, river and aquifer protection, conscientious wastewater treatment, and water conservation. We continually monitor water quality and manage the watershed to understand and prevent negative influences while operating a safe, secure, and reliable sewer and water utility. We take pride in our community and continually seek to improve the service we provide our owner/ratepayers. We honor and value representative local government that works, without taxes. We foster a professional, rewarding, supportive, and fun work environment that makes all of this possible.
HISTORY "In 1968, when the residents of Liberty Lake realized the lake was dying, they turned to the Property Owner's Association to solve the problem. The association educated itself about lakes and water quality problems, then rested assistance from Spokane County to protect the lake by constructing a sewer system around the entire lake. When help was not forthcoming, the Property Owners Association determined a sewer district was needed, and spearheaded a petition drive to form a sewer district to accomplish lake restoration. In 1973 the people voted to form a sewer district and elected three commissioners to be their representatives. The district was formed by the residents of Liberty Lake with assistance from the Liberty Lake Property Owner's Association for the express purpose of restoring Liberty Lake, and the district has worked non-stop since 1973 to attain that goal." Sue Kaun, District Manager (1976-1990)
