It’s been close to three years since a water pipe broke in White Salmon’s City Hall and caused significant damage, but it appears the City and its insurance company are close enough to reaching a settlement figure to allow renovations to finally take place. Mayor David Poucher says the settlement has not been finalized, but the offer has gone up enough to allow the City to proceed with going out for bid. A combination of the insurance settlement and money budgeted for the project since 2013 will be used to pay for the work. Poucher noted the City intends to move its police department from the Park Center into the renovated City Hall. City offices have been in a temporary downtown location since the water line break.
