Mayor Plumb explained that human waste has been found in Bonaparte Creek. They would like to see some of these homes onto the city sewer system. The area consists of approximately 45-50 homes that are located outside of the city limits. Should a grant be acquired and the area isn’t annexed into the city they would like the county to require that they connect to the system. Tonasket’s hope is to annex the area into the city. Tonasket’s system can handle the additional affluent. Commissioner Lampe asked that they get the project to the Economic Alliance so it can be ranked for EDD.
