Klickitat PUD has received a $245,000 grant from the Washington State Department of Commerce Community Services and Housing Division Office of Crime Victims Advocacy to provide customers COVID-19 relief programs. The funding is federally provided through Coronavirus Emergency Supplemental Funds. The grant will help establish three utility specific programs to assist Klickitat PUD customers, one for small businesses, one for residential customers, and the third for a summer low income eldery discount program. PUD officials say the goal is to reach and assist as many customers as possible to prevent, prepare for, and recover from the coronavirus prior to resuming disconnects for non-payment.
