The plan is available for review online at RentonCES.Konveio.com. A hybrid briefing and public hearing will be held at the Planning Commission meeting on October 4 at 6:00 p.m. The public comment period will remain open through October 4, 2023.

Water supply reservoirs in their Cedar River and Tolt watersheds are significantly lower than normal due to an early snowpack melt-off this past spring, an extended period of warm weather, and lower-than-normal rainfall during the year. The City of Renton’s wholesale water supply contract with SPU, and our participation in the Saving Water Partnership requires we activate the voluntary state of our water shortage response plan. While Renton is not anticipating any water shortage from our own water supply sources, we encourage everyone to reduce water use in support of the regional water conservation effort. Approximately 40% of Renton is served by Water Districts that purchase water from Seattle.
