City of Chelan Public Works crews are scrambling to make repairs to a water main in
downtown Chelan. About 6 am this morning water was discovered bubbling out of
several underground vaults in the alley between Woodin Ave and Riverwalk Park.
Business’s on the south side of the 100 block of Woodin Ave. from BC Mcdonalds east
to SwimWorld are without water this morning… no estimated time for repairs.

If you’ve noticed an uptick in law enforcement activity in the Chelan area over the last year or so, you’re not mistaken, according to the presentation from the Chelan County Sheriff’s Office at Tuesday night’s Chelan City Council meeting.
