Walla Walla City Council Formalizes Mill Creek Watershed Control Program
What happened
The Walla Walla City Council formalized a Watershed Control Program for the Mill Creek Watershed. The Council also tabled a vote regarding the expansion of the city’s water service area, which was intended to provide water service to the proposed 355-acre MC Gateway property. The expansion would modify the service area boundary to include land northeast of the Mill Creek Water Treatment Plant.

Why it matters
The decision to formalize the Watershed Control Program establishes local environmental planning for the Mill Creek area. The Council separated this action from the water service expansion vote due to public opposition regarding the MC Gateway property, a proposed commercial and residential development.
