Salishan Spit extension study

In June, 2025 the Salishan Sanitary District received a Technical Assistance Grant from the State of Oregon to study the impacts of expansion of the sanitary District to cover the properties on the Spit. Many of these Leasehold properties have septic systems that are nearing the end of their service life or either the bay or the ocean is threatening their septic tanks and disposal fields. The goal of the study is advance planning to identify the most cost-effective way for the Sanitary District to serve these approximate 190 homes, if requested by the Spit community. The study to identify service options and cost impacts will be completed by the end of the year and available to all leaseholders.
