PUBLIC UTILITY DISTRICTS (PUD)

What Are They?

▼

PUDs are municipal corporations under state law, formed by a majority vote of the people to provide electric, water, or sewer service in a prescribed area. A PUD is owned by the people it serves on a non-profit, cost of service basis. Our entire county elects commissioners to govern the PUD. The Commission meets on a regular basis. These meetings are open to the public and any person may present his or her viewpoint on matters pertaining to policy, or on decisions to be made by the Commission. Our mission is to provide dependable, notfor-profit utility services governed by, and for the benefit of, our customers in a safe and environmentally responsible manner. For Okanogan PUD it all began in 1936 when the Washington State Legislature passed legislation authorizing formation of public utility districts. The debate then centered on local issues of public versus private power until 1939 when the voters approved forming their own public utility district. This debate continued for six years until May 11, 1945, when the PUD paid Washington Water Power for the entire system in Okanogan County, including Enloe Dam and a transmission line from Chelan, and began operating its own electric system. The basic difference between PUDs, Rural Electric Cooperatives (Co-ops) and investor-owned power utilities (IOUs) is that a PUD is owned by all the people in the area for which the PUD was formed, not just our customers. The Co-ops are owned by members, and the IOUs are owned by stockholders. This past May 11 marked the 64th anniversary of Okanogan County Public Utility District. Today, we serve approximately 20,000 customers throughout Okanogan County. To sign up for electrical service, visit your convenient local utility district office listed below.

Facts about Cremation

OKANOGAN COUNTY CREMATORY • A “Crematory” is the facility where the cremation equipment is housed that actually performs the cremation process, and is therefore, the most essential and absolutely necessary part of cremation service. • The Okanogan County Crematory is, quite literally, the ONLY facility within over an 80-mile radius of Omak & Okanogan that can actually perform a cremation. • By using the 1st and only local crematory, families no longer have to deal with the extra costs, uncertainties and risks involved with paying a middle-man to take their family members on a 160 mile round trip for cremation in Wenatchee. • The Okanogan County Crematory arrangement office can be found in the Precht-Harrison-Nearents Chapel at 2547 Elmway in Okanogan.

‘They just don’t make ‘em like that anymore.’ W

alk into Rawson’s and you’re reminded of something. Something from the past. A time when locallyowned, family operated stores were the centerpiece of Main Street America. That great tradition is in its second generation at Rawson’s.

That’s why you’ll never find another department store quite like Rawson’s. It reflects us, our neighbors and the unique needs of our customers.

Our Okanogan neighbors are just as style-conscious as their big-city cousins. So we carry the latest in fashions. But they’re hard workers, too, so our western wear is made for real westerners, tough and dependable.

our visit to Rawson’s will be a rare experience. You’ll find an entire block of family and western apparel, shoes and boots. There’s not another store quite like us.

Apparel and footwear for all the family. Specializing in quality western wear.
