Chelan County PUD Updates their Water System Plan
The Chelan County PUD has updated their water system plan for their water systems around the Wenatchee area. There is also an opportunity for public comment.
From the PUD:
To keep pace with projected population growth and comply with Washington Department of Health planning requirements, Chelan County PUD expects to keep improving its Wenatchee-area water system over the next six years – adding pump stations, reservoirs and pipe. The PUD invites water customers to review the latest six-year plan and offer comment at the PUD’s regular public meeting on May 4.
Water Resources Manager Ron Slabaugh briefed the PUD Board of Commissioners Monday about the new six-year plan which is required by the state Department of Health for large municipal water systems. Along with nearly $7 million worth of projects already in the works this year, the plan calls for two booster pump station upgrades, two more water reservoirs, water main replacements and upgrades for security by 2014. Total capital project spending in 2010-2014 is estimated at about $10 million.
The plan does not discuss possible rate changes as those are usually revisited during the PUD budget process each year. The most recent water rate changes went into effect April 1.
Anyone wishing to review the six-year plan may contact Ron Slabaugh at 661-4131. Public comment will be invited at the board meeting on May 4.
