EPHRATA -- Fall is in the air — time for tailgate parties, team spirit and a thoughtful discussion about Grant PUD’s 2026 Proposed Budget.

In a fast-growing industry with increasing demand, a well-planned budget helps Grant PUD meet operational needs, invest wisely, and plan for the future. We’ll review operations and maintenance, labor, and capital costs, as well as the financial forecast.

Ask questions and share your thoughts at two public budget hearings – Oct. 14 at 2 p.m. and 6 p.m. Both may be attended in person in the Commission Room at Grant PUD Headquarters, 30 C Street SW, Ephrata, or remotely via Microsoft Teams.
