Kittitas County Water District #7 (KCWD7) is run by three elected Commissioners and two part-time Clerks. Your Water Commissioners are also your neighbors. Each Commissioner has made a personal commitment to the care and well-being of you and your family. Our goal is to assure dependable and sustainable access to this most precious resource through conservation, education and a deeper appreciation for this finite resource.
