One of the three elements of the water use efficiency rule is water use efficiency goal setting and performance reporting.  Municipal water suppliers must set water use efficiency goals through a public process and report annually on their performance to customers and the Department of Health (DOH), and also make this information available to the public.

One of the most important steps in using water efficiently is setting goals that can be measured. Goals provide a benchmark for achievement and play a significant role in defining the success of your water use efficiency (WUE) program. [WAC 246-290-830(4)(a)].
