The Kent Water Service Area boundary depicts the area served by the City of Kent Water Distribution Utility. The City's Water Distribution Utility does not serve the entire city, but does serve surrounding areas from other jurisdictions. These areas are referred to as franchise areas and are covered by Inter-Local Agreements (ILA) with other jurisdictions. The CWSSP (Community Water Supply and Sanitation Program) for Western King County was initially utilized for mapping the Water Service Area. Since that time ILA's (Inter-Local Agreements) were used to edit the boundary line. These boundary line edits are normally coincidental with existing parcel lines.
