Reevaluate and possibly initiate water reclamation and reuse. Water reclamation and reuse opportunities on the Reservation and at the Lummi Nation Skookum Creek Hatchery were evaluated by the Lummi Water Resources Division in 1998. At that time, water reclamation and reuse was determined to be cost prohibitive, given the expense to monitor reclaimed water, provide additional treatment to the available wastewater, and convey the reclaimed water to places of reuse, as well as the relatively low cost of potable water (LWRD 2004). A reevaluation of the costs and benefits of water reclamation and reuse opportunities on the Reservation may now be warranted.
