Lake Tapps is a reservoir in Pierce County, Washington. It was created in 1911 by Puget Sound Energy and operated for hydroelectric power until it ceased power production in 2004. In December 2009, PSE sold the lake to the Cascade Water Alliance, a nonprofit corporation comprised of five cities (Bellevue, Issaquah, Kirkland, Redmond and Tukwila) and three water districts (Covington Water District, Sammamish Plateau Water and Sewer District and the Skyway Water and Sewer District.) It provides water to almost 400,000 residents and more than 22,000 businesses. It plans to eventually use Lake Tapps as a municipal water supply source, but not until at least the 2030s or later.
