Providing reliable, affordable utilities to Chelan County's rural homes and businesses is at the heart of Chelan County PUD. The PUD operates six water systems serving nearly 7,000 customers in rural Wenatchee, Squilchuck/Wenatchee Heights, Dryden, Peshastin, Olalla Canyon, Chelan Falls, and Chelan Ridge. Diverse terrain, low population density, and strict regulations make the rural water systems challenging to operate.
