The project held a May 14 progress meeting with 10 attendees.
Superintendent Matt told the South Cle Elum Town Council on May 19 that the townwide water‑main replacement project got off to a slow start after crews encountered multiple unmarked utilities but has since picked up pace.
Matt said there have been three main breaks since the project began and reported the City of Cle Elum will charge the Town for water lost to leaks, a change that could affect project costs and operations. The first Construction Project Progress Meeting was held May 14 with 10 people in attendance to review progress and the near‑term schedule.
The council accepted the superintendent’s report as part of the regular departmental updates. No new contract approvals or additional appropriations were made at the meeting; councilmembers asked staff to continue reporting on project progress and any cost implications related to water loss charges.
