Major flooding issues as I'm sure you all are aware of. But what got me is why they are collecting water from open source for drinking instead of having a well field and withdrawing from an aquifer. Cost? Water rights? They withdraw water from the wynoochee at the spill way too, correct?


There is not a "withdraw water", at the dam.....Maybe you are thinking about the "water intake", which has been taking water from the Wynoochee River, and is controlled by the City of Aberdeen. I'm not sure who currently uses this.....so many major companies are "shut down or long gone"
