Water Systems Overview: Seattle Public Utilities
An assessment of whether Seattle Public Utilities' watersheds, treatment, network, institutions and finances can carry a larger capital program of seismic, storage, dam and overflow obligations through the 2030s. Seattle Public Utilities has supply to spare: water produced in 2025 averaged 126.7 MGD against a 172 MGD firm yield, and leakage fell to 4.5%. The pressure is capital: the Mayor's proposed 2027–2032 water program is about US$1,067 million, rates rise 4.3% a year from 2027, and the 2026 Official Statement expects US$553.2 million of new parity bonds over 2027–2031.
