The Department of Ecology (Ecology) is providing a more efficient and convenient way for you to find out when water right permit applications are filed in your watershed or county. By subscribing to our Water Right Application RSS feed you can be notified whenever a new application is filed in the area you care about. You will get alerts about applications for new water right permits and changes to existing water right permits (look for the “C” in the start of the file number for change applications).
To setup an RSS Feed to receive automated notifications of recently accepted Water Right Applications search for “RSS feed readers”. Popular browsers like Internet Explorer and Firefox offer the built-in ability to subscribe to RSS feeds. Google Chrome may require you to install an RSS extension.
For instructions on using Microsoft Outlook to subscribe to RSS feeds, go to Microsoft Outlook 2010, Outlook 2007. Mac users can use Apple Mail.
Each feed will only show the 10 most recent applications by County and WRIA (Water Resource Inventory Area). Most will have a link to a scanned image of the completed application form. We will strive to make application images available within 24 hours of publishing notices via RSS, but sometimes this may take longer, depending on other priorities.
To find all filed permit applications you can use the Water Resources Explorer Web map.
