'Lightly' looks at CFLs

The spring issue of Lightly, the PUD’s online energy newsletter, is now available. This second issue focuses on compact fluorescent lamps (CFLs), including a video discussing types of bulbs, best ways to use them, and proper disposal. Check out the stories on where to recycle your old computers, and on a new, free Chelan-Douglas Land Trust booklet on living in harmony with the environment in Chelan County.

Dock permit proposal to be heard May 12

Following more discussion on the policy allowing permits for private docks over PUD-owned land on Lake Chelan and the Rocky Reach Reservoir, commissioners have asked staff to present a final proposal for a decision on May 12. The PUD owns about 7 percent of waterfront property behind Rocky Reach Dam, and less than 2 percent of waterfront property on Lake Chelan as well as some submerged land both places. Click here to learn more.

PUD readies for new meter system

Chelan County PUD is moving down the path to begin installation of automated electric meters for all customers, starting this year. Replacing every electric meter over the next several years is estimated to cost up to $15 million. Customers served by the Squilchuck Substation, south and west of Wenatchee, will be the first to be served by the electric automated meter system (AMS). It was chosen because of the variety of terrain, types of service and age of equipment in that part of the PUD system. Work there could begin later this year. Other areas will be added after performance at Squilchuck is reviewed.

Security program receives national award

Chelan County PUD has been honored by the National Hydropower Association for the comprehensive security program developed by the PUD to protect people and infrastructure following 9/11. Learn more.

2007 Annual Report now available

ROI normally stands for “return on investment,” but Chelan County PUD’s 2007 Annual Report takes that idea further by focusing on a “Return on Ideas.” The new report is now posted on the PUD Web site, and copies are printed and ready for distribution by mail. E-mail us for a hard copy or read it online.
