Management Areas

 

Issaquah Creek Valley Groundwater Management Area MapThis Groundwater Management Area encompasses ninety-three square miles located east and southeast of Lake Sammamish. The boundaries are defined by the drainage of Tibbetts Creek and Issaquah Creek watersheds and the water service area of Sammamish Plateau Water and Sewer District

Urban development is mostly concentrated in the cities of Issaquah, Sammamish and along the I-90 corridor. Outside of this urban area, the remainder of the management area is rural, characterized by low-density residential uses, forest and agricultural lands.

Almost all of the water used for private, municipal, and industrial and agricultural purposes in the Issaquah Creek Valley Groundwater Management Area is provided by groundwater sources.
