PA, Elwha tribe, Parks Service talk BY CHRIS MCDANIEL PENINSULA DAILY NEWS
PORT ANGELES — Officials with the city of Port Angeles say they won’t take over operation of the Elwha Water Treatment Plant from the National Park Service until it is fixed. “We can’t accept the water system like it is now,” said Bill Bloor, city attorney. “That would bankrupt the city
very quickly.” The Parks Service plans to discontinue operating the water facility as of October of this year, according to a Jan. 6 letter from Sarah Creachbaum, Olympic National Park superintendent. She said in the letter that National Park Service officials “do not think redesign [of the facility] is necessary.”
