Residents press council on Soap Lake water levels; mayor to add public access to map
Summary
Several residents raised concerns about recent Department of Ecology and Irrigation District reports on Soap Lake water levels and urged promotion of mineral baths; Mayor Sharp said an updated city map will indicate access to the 'Healing Waters.' The Lake Committee will submit a follow-up report.
Multiple residents used the public-comment period to voice concern about the lake's water level and recent reports from the Department of Ecology and the local Irrigation District. Burr Beckwith urged the City to promote the mineral-water baths available at the Inn, and Leslie Taylor said she was troubled by the DOE's stance on water levels and asked for clearer information on the fireworks ordinance next year.
Councilmember Gorman said the Lake Committee will submit a report on the June 29 meeting and that a recommendation will come from the Conservancy Committee for LLC review. Mayor Peter Sharp said the City's updated map will show where access to the "Healing Waters" can be found.
