Icicle Creek

WWT has worked with local partners for over a decade to protect and restore water in Icicle Creek. Our efforts culminated in WWT signing agreements last year with the Cascade Orchard Irrigation Company and Chelan County to build a new pump station that will allow more than 1.3 billion gallons of water annually to remain in the creek. Now, the pump station is complete!

Thanks to our supporters and partners, this may be our biggest year EVER for permanently protecting water instream. See what's on tap for river restoration at WWT in 2025.

WWT signed agreements in March to kick off a project that will permanently restore more than 1.3 billion gallons of water annually to Icicle Creek. Our partners have hit the ground running since then! Catch up on Icicle Creek restoration efforts and infrastructure improvements today.

Our Icicle Creek project reached a major milestone after more than a decade of work, collaboration, and negotiation. Upon its completion, this project will restore more than 1.3 billion gallons of water annually forever to the lower part of Icicle Creek!

From enhancing flows for fish during drought to protecting water instream forever and advancing new conservation methods, 2023 was a big year in our work to restore and protect rivers and streams across Washington. Check out some of our conservation impact highlights in this post!
