So, when Fall officially starts this Friday, we'll be basking in temperatures in the 80s they say, so it's not time to put away the sun screen quite yet.

With time ticking away, that batch of rain we...

Wahkiakum PUD commissioners met Tuesday to discuss proposed rate increases for electrical and water customers, to review the 2012 preliminary budget and to award bids for portions of the electric substation project.
