We are excited and thankful to see the first major press coverage for the W20 Project. The article by Apple Valley News Now from February 19th features a recent interview with Mayor Schwartz from the City of Moses Lake talking about the water quality benefits of the project.

On January 20, 2026, the Moses Lake Watershed Council hosted a presentation on the W20 Lateral Extension Project, delivered by Kevin Richards, W20 Program Manager for the Port of Moses Lake. The presentation highlighted the innovative ways the W20 Project will enhance water management in the Columbia Basin while delivering critical benefits to Moses Lake.

Last week, the Moses Lake Watershed Council (MLWC) hosted the annual State of Our Lake meeting, bringing together community members, local agencies, and partners to share updates on the health and management of Moses Lake. Nearly 50 people, both in person and online, joined the discussion, reflecting the strong community commitment to a healthy Moses Lake.
