Purpose
The common water supply serving the western portion of Latah County, Idaho in the general vicinity of Moscow, and the eastern portion of Whitman County, Washington in the general vicinity of Pullman (referred to as the Palouse Basin Aquifer), is an important regional concern and maintaining and conserving that resource is of critical importance to each member of this committee. The committee deems it to be in the public interest to work jointly and cooperatively on water resource problems and issues, while maintaining a consideration of the benefits of growth activity and economic development.
Mission
To ensure a long-term, quality water supply for the Palouse Basin region.
