2026 drought conditions and heat alert information
News & Alerts
Dear Customers,
Spokane County is currently experiencing drought conditions in 2026, and we are asking all customers of Spokane County Water District No. 3 to take an active role in conserving water. Protecting our water supply is a shared responsibility, and small changes across our community can make a meaningful difference.
While our system remains stable, increased demand during dry conditions can place stress on our infrastructure and long-term water availability. We are also closely monitoring the Spokane River, where lower water levels during this drought are a growing concern for our region. These conditions reinforce the importance of conserving water now.
We encourage all customers to use water wisely and adopt the following conservation practices:
Outdoor Water Use:
- Water lawns and landscaping only during early morning or late evening hours to reduce evaporation
- Limit irrigation to no more than 2–3 days per week
- Avoid watering during windy or excessively hot periods
- Sweep driveways and sidewalks instead of using a hose
- Use a shut-off nozzle when washing vehicles
Indoor Water Use:
- Fix leaks promptly, including faucets, toilets, and irrigation systems
- Run dishwashers and washing machines only with full loads
- Turn off the tap while brushing teeth or shaving
General Awareness:
- Monitor your water use and look for opportunities to reduce unnecessary consumption
- Consider drought-resistant landscaping options where possible
Every gallon saved helps maintain reliable service for essential needs, supports fire protection capabilities, and protects our community’s long-term water resources.
We appreciate your cooperation and commitment to responsible water use during this challenging period. Working together, we can ensure a sustainable and resilient water supply for all.
Spokane County Water District will not disconnect water services during a NWS issued heat alert. If a disconnected member requests reconnection SCWD#3 must reconnect services during the alert, call 509-536-0121 during business hours.
