PUD continues to provide help to Chelan-Douglas Health District
information released
Chelan PUD continues to provide support for Chelan-Douglas Health District’s vaccination efforts at Town Toyota Center. In a report to PUD commissioners, staff outlined a plan to use parking lots at Walla Walla Point Park to help the health district vaccinate more people in North Central Washington.
Volunteers will direct vaccination traffic into a line that travels through about half of the parking areas at Walla Walla Point Park, then on to Town Toyota Center. That means parking will be limited to the northern lots, near the ballfields, at Walla Walla Point Park at least through June. Park users may also find available spots at Linden Tree at Ninth Street and Walla Walla Avenue, or Riverfront Park at the end of Fifth Street.
Since vaccination began at Town Toyota Center, Chelan PUD has provided snow removal, security, radios, fuel and power generation in support of the effort.
In other news, commissioners:
- Heard about program planning to assist low income and high energy burdened customers
