The Save Lake Tapps Coalition disbanded in September 2007, after 8 year of community service.  The effort of this coalition is now focused in the Lake Tapps Community Council under a new charter.  All funds remaining in the SLTC account were transferred to the Lake Tapps Community Council.  This website is maintained by a the past secretary of the former Save Lake Tapps Coalition as a method of community education and awareness.  The Save Lake Tapps Coalition was formed on March 8, 1999 in response to an announcement in the media advising that Lake Tapps may be drained as a result of a possible involuntary abandonment of the White River Hydroelectric Project by Puget Sound Energy.  The Coalition was a non-profit community organization consisting of motivated, concerned people who live, use, or own property around our beloved Lake Tapps.   If you have web content concerning the interest of the lake, please forward to: valdez4726@comcast.net
