Where the water comes from
Silver Lake Water & Sewer District's main water source is purchased surface water. It buys treated water from City of Everett Public Works Dept., Alderwood Water District. The seller treats the water, including corrosion control that keeps lead from dissolving out of pipes, while Silver Lake Water & Sewer District is responsible for its own service line inventory and replacement program. It sells water to 1 other water system: Cross Valley Water District.
