Drought Declaration Opens Up White Salmon Water Options

With Klickitat County having received a drought declaration from the state, White Salmon Mayor David Poucher says it opens up options to bring water to the city if it is needed this summer.  Poucher says Buck Creek, the City’s main water source, is flowing at only 35 percent of normal, and he says that has municipal officials looking at what their options are just in case.  He pointed out anything they would do for an emergency should be able to be done quickly, and not be intended to last a long time.  Poucher noted the current Buck Creek level is lower than back in 2001 and 2005, which were also drought years.
