The Chelan County Public Utility District (PUD) has re-opened the sports courts at six of its park locations. Spokesperson Rachel Hansen says the courts had been closed for several months so the PUD could make a number of repairs and improvements...

Crews will be stabilizing and rehabilitating about 1,100 feet of riverbank at Confluence State Park and about 120 feet of riverbank at Entiat Park

Chelan County PUD crews plan to apply pellets to control mosquitoes in and around ponds.

At last night's council meeting, Mayor Frank Kuntz said he's happy with how the PUD and the city came together to get this deal done.

The water will be used as needed to shore up needs in hatcheries, parks and water systems, and to assist with power generation.

The PUD would trade a five-acre long, narrow patch of land along the western edges of Horan Natural Area and Confluence State Park, which it owns, in exchange for roughly equivalent property from the City.

For Confluence State Park, crews will work on tackling 1,000 feet of the shoreline that eroded along the eastern shore, with costs estimated at over $2 million.

Kuntz was given approval to move forward with the agreement after getting approval from the city council.
