Ground water found in the KGI area comes from rainwater that slowly passes down from the surface to recharge the water table and other ground water zones deep beneath the surface. Water movement beneath the surface is very slow and not at all like the water you see moving in a river. Even in rainy Puget Sound country, water is a precious resource because of regional growth along with competing demands for fish protection and recreation. Water is especially scarce during our normally arid summers when only 23 percent of our annual rainfall occurs. Unfortunately that's when everyone is watering lawns and washing cars.
Small changes add up to big savings in both water and money.
For more information about water conservation see the Conservation page . Do your part, be water smart. Water taken from the ground can naturally take on some taste and odor of the surrounding ground. The odor similar to rotten egg smell is due to dissolved hydrogen sulfide gas in the water. You smell the gas as the water is aerated and the gas is released into the air.
