When Cort Wilson joined Skagit PUD in 2014, field crews didn't trust the digital mapping system. They used paper instead.

Cort fixed that by getting out from behind his desk — working alongside crews, learning their workflows, and listening. Over time, crews went from using the system to helping build it.

Twelve years later, that work pays off every time we decide which pipes to replace and when.

How do we know your drinking water is safe? Skagit PUD collects and tests water samples throughout the system year-round to ensure drinking water meets state and federal standards.

Our annual Consumer Confidence Report is now available online and includes detailed information on water quality, testing, and the source of your water. https://www.skagitpud.org/home/showpublisheddocument/3341/639149503135630000

🏆 Our Top Ops team is heading to the national championship in Washington, D.C.!

Water Treatment Plant Operators Rob Sager and Riley Smith, along with Meter Technician Matt Walker, won the regional competition in Tacoma in May and will compete June 21-24 against the best water operators from across the U.S. and Canada.

Top Ops is like Jeopardy for the water industry — a fast-paced quiz competition where teams answer complex technical questions about water treatment, safety, and operations in just 25 seconds.

Congratulations to Rob, Riley, and Matt for representing Skagit PUD and the Pacific Northwest at the AWWA Annual Conference!

It doesn’t take much rain to add up. A typical roof can shed hundreds of gallons in a single storm.

Rain barrels let you hold onto some of that water to use on your plants later. Skagit PUD offers 55-gallon rain barrels for customers. Contact us to learn more. https://www.skagitpud.org/about-us/conservation/stewardship/rain-barrels

Water is part of everything we do every day. From the source to your tap, it’s treated, tested, and delivered through a system built to serve this community for the long term.

Providing safe, reliable water — today and for the future — is the work behind the scenes.

We’re celebrating 90 years of service (1936-2026) — and having a little fun with it. Since it’s April Fools’ Day, we used AI to bring this 1950s photo of crews working at North 4th Street and Fulton Street in Mount Vernon to life.

Some things have changed since then. The work hasn’t.

For 90 years, Skagit PUD has been providing water to communities across Skagit County. Today, the system serves about 116,000 people through more than 600 miles of pipeline.

While the system has grown, the job remains the same: delivering safe, reliable water every day.
