Regional Water Supply System Information

Investor Information

Tacoma Water owns, operates, and maintains the Regional Water Supply System (RWSS). It also serves as the ultimate security for financing jointly issued with one or more RWSS participants.

The 2002 Second Supply Partnership Agreement, as amended, outlines each participant’s rights and responsibilities for using and funding the system. These costs include capital expenses, operations and maintenance expenses, and debt service payments. Tacoma recovers these costs through Contract Resource Obligation payments from each RWSS participant. Other key RWSS agreements include the Muckleshoot Indian Tribe Agreement and the Project Cooperation Agreement with the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers.

There are four participants in the Second Supply System, all in Washington State:

  • Tacoma Water
  • Covington Water District
  • City of Kent
  • Lakehaven Water and Sewer District

The following are the latest available audited financial statements for the participants in the Second Supply System (other than Tacoma). The financial statements for each participant have been provided by the participant; the City of Tacoma has not independently verified such information and does not guarantee the accuracy or completeness of such information or that such information is the latest available.
