According to Department of Ecology mailers and website “If you use water directly from surface or groundwater, you must follow the instructions and file a claim form. If you only use water from a city or other public source, you do not need to file a form.” Whatcom County Water District #7 is a public source of water. It is each property owners responsibility to determine if they need to file anything with the Department of Ecology. If you have any questions contact the Department of Ecology Bellingham field office directly.
