Power has been restored to Lake Wenatchee and Plain. Internet is still off. Water dropped 3 – 4 feet over night, so still 2 to 3 feet above normal spring high water. Lots and lots of debris has rearranged itself around the lake.
PUD has turned off power to sewer pumps where the tank lids were under water to prevent the sewer treatment plant from having to treat large amounts of flood water.. We will post procedure for restoring when we learn details.
