Water system consolidation

I encourage everyone interested in the topic of consolidation who CANNOT attend the joint meeting being held by the PUD and Cathlamet Town Council on October 16th at 10 a.m. to send them a letter with specific comments and questions.

I personally can’t attend and realized that others may not be able to, so I reached out to the PUD, several council members, the mayor, and the town Deputy Secretary to ask about public comments/questions in written form and am trying to facilitate it.

I feel that this is such an important issue and that people should be vigilant at this time. Please express your concerns and ask questions now.

I hope that a vote on Consolidation can happen and will include the residents outside of Town limits. They will be affected as well. Puget Islanders alone comprise 1/4 of the population of the entire county.

Here’s a link to a Google doc form letter which allows you to make public comment on the consolidation and express whether you would like to vote on the Consolidation and whether you live within or outside of town limits. It also allows anyone concerned about the issue of Puget Island’s drinking water being switched from town water to being sourced from a well on Little Island to comment on that. https://docs.google.com/document/d/1-22kTLBiciLC6JUusFZ73iUb0ur6NCAvh3ims9K1qts/edit
