Update on New Docks

If you've spent any time along Panoway, you've noticed our shiny new docks! The docks were designed by J.F. Brennan with guidance from a community-led dock design subcommittee. Generally, the big changes from the previous docks are that they are floating, there are more loading areas, there is an expanded number of slips, and they are constructed with higher quality decking. The City also implemented a pay system to cover a portion of the maintenance and operations, however, residents can park for free. Register for free parking here.

We have collected a lot of feedback from boaters, community members, and dock workers over the past month and a half since they have been open and will continue to do so for the remainder of the summer. In September, staff and community members plan to meet again to discuss all the feedback and opportunities to make the user experience even better before the next year.

Water Meters to be Replaced This Fall

The City has contracted with Ferguson Waterworks and RMR Services to replace two-thirds of residential and commercial water meters throughout the city. Meters were last replaced 20 years ago and are approaching their useful life. The project is anticipated to begin in September and the contractor will be notifying affected properties, via letter, to schedule appointments. 

While there will be no cost to property owners for this meter upgrade, owners are required to have the water meter replaced. Property owners will need to ensure that the water shutoff valve on the incoming water service is in working condition, and if the valve does not close or it leaks, it will need to be replaced or repaired prior to scheduling an appointment.
