The plan is required by state regulations administered by the Department of Health (DOH). The council also approved a resolution establishing goals for water production and conservation. Besides being a normal part of the plan, the water plant improvements and conservation goals are needed to keep the DOH from imposing restrictions on the number of new connections for both the Cathlamet and Puget Island water...

He was assisted by WHS Intervention/Prevention Specialist Karla Gates. This is the second year that Rhuter has come to Cathlamet to put on this program, and students already...
