The Town of Coupeville will soon begin to look at ways to reuse treated wastewater while continuing to identify solutions to reduce the amount of nutrients discharged into Puget Sound.

According to Public Works Director Joe Grogan, water is the most important resource on Whidbey Island, and its availability is increasingly at risk due to climate change and a growing population.

“Water will be more valuable to the entire community,” Grogan said. “Instead of discharging it into the Puget Sound, is there a more beneficial use?”
