On February 17, the Grand Coulee City Council approved a $245,000 electrical upgrade for its wastewater treatment plant, aimed at improving safety and compliance. The upgrade addresses issues with existing perforated plate screens that freeze in cold weather.

The council also approved plumbing revisions costing around $45,000 to separate potable water lines in the plant. Furthermore, an engineering agreement for Phase Two of the sewer collection system was approved, funded by a $4 million state package. The decisions reflect the council's commitment to addressing safety and reliability issues proactively.
