Council hears Palouse Basin aquifer feasibility update; study considers Clearwater River diversion Mayor Willard updated the council on a Palouse Basin aquifer feasibility study: the lower aquifer is declining about 0.72 feet per year; preliminary results expected late 2026; a diversion near Lewiston with roughly 40 miles of piping and treatment near Moscow is among the options under study to provide an estimated supplemental supply (~10 cfs) for long‑term aquifer stabilization.

Mayor Willard reveals a bold plan to stabilize the Palouse Basin aquifer, including a potential 40-mile pipeline from the Clearwater River to secure our water future.

See what happened!
