PUD report

The Wahkiakum County PUD Commissioners met on Tuesday, Oct. 20. During the meeting, they viewed a presentation by Tracy Yout of Energy Northwest, which provided an overview of the Conditional Approval Engagement for the Small Modular Reactor project that Energy Northwest is working on with Amazon. PUD General Manager Dan Kay gave an update on the Town of Cathlamet wastewater plant, which needs the biosolid storage to be emptied before winter. This “Class B” biosolid material can be used in farming, and the team is working on shipping it out to Yakima. The Skamokawa water system transfer is nearly complete. Testing is currently being conducted, and, pending the results of the water testing, all should be completed by the end of the week.
