Pasco to seek contract update for irrigation upgrades and to accept state loan tied to Lewis Street underpass work

The city will ask the Pasco City Council to approve an update to a contract for work to expand and improve Pasco's irrigation system, the moderator said. The update is intended to help ensure irrigation customers have adequate water pressure during the season.

Separately, the moderator said the city was awarded a grant and a low-interest loan last fall to help pay for tearing down the Lewis Street underpass, which the moderator said was replaced in 2024 with a larger, safer overpass. Pasco Public Works will request council permission to accept the loan from the Washington State Public Works Board.

The moderator did not provide contract values or loan amounts. The items were presented as requests for council approval; no votes or final actions were described in the transcript.
