On July 7, 2025, the Cathlamet Town Council approved an Asset Transfer Agreement that transfers ownership and management of the Town’s water and sewer utilities to Wahkiakum PUD effective August 1, 2025.
As the transition moves forward, all Town utility customers should continue managing their utility bills and related inquiries through the Town as usual, until an official joint notice is issued by the Town and PUD outlining next steps. Our shared goal is to ensure a smooth transition with minimal disruption to customers.
For additional information, please visit the PUD’s website: Wahkiakum PUD

We appreciate your cooperation and understanding during this transition.
Best regards,
Town of Cathlamet
