There is an interesting discussion about the future water needs of Olympia, Lacey, and Tumwater. There is a lot of emphasis on conservation, but Bob Jacobs isn't buying it. From The Olympian:

Former Olympia mayor Bob Jacobs is less optimistic that water supply challenges will ever curb growth.

“Totally unlimited growth is kind of an article of faith — a religious kind of thing,” he said.

The one thing almost everybody agrees on is this: Water availability will be the Achilles’ heel of growth in South Sound.
