Alternative Meeting Attendance Request

Regarding Meeting Procedures During the Covid-19 Emergency

Lake Whatcom Water & Sewer District continues to operate under largely normal procedures in order to provide continuous service to our customers. That said, we are taking precautions in an effort to protect the health and safety of our staff, commissioners, and customers. Our lobby is currently closed to the public, and we are practicing social distancing guidelines as suggested by Governor Inslee and the CDC.

To that end, the District has researched alternatives to conducting upcoming regular board meetings in person. For the foreseeable future, Commissioners will be attending regular meetings by phone. Though we are required by the Open Public Meetings Act to permit public to attend these meetings, we are asking interested parties to consider instead attending the meeting remotely by phone or computer. This will allow us to provide the greatest level of protection to all participants.

If you would like to attend the March 25 regular meeting, details can be found below. In this evolving climate, we are committed to doing everything possible to provide opportunity for public comment as well as promote health and safety. As such, the District requests that if possible, public submit comments in written form by noon the day before a scheduled meeting for inclusion in the meeting discussion.

We appreciate your understanding and patience during these uncertain times. If you have any questions, please contact Administrative Assistant Rachael Hope at rachael.hope@lwwsd.org or 360-734-9224.
