Drinking water in Mountlake Terrace comes from Spada Lake Reservoir, on the Sultan River about 30 miles east of Everett. This has served as a collection point for rain and snowmelt from the Cascade Range since the 1960s.
The City of Everett manages water treatment and distribution from the lake to Alderwood Water District, which in turn supplies water to the City of Mountlake Terrace.
