MOSES LAKE - Grant County PUD officials set a second boundary change hearing for 6:30 p.m., Monday, to attract more members of the public.

A hearing is held every 10 years, as part of the federal census.
Grant County's population grew by 19.3 percent in the 2010 U.S. Census and now has a population of 89,120 people, according to figures from the state Office of Financial Management.
PUD commissioner districts have the following populations: district 1, 29,948, district 2, 29,532 and district 3, 29,640.
A target population per district is 29,707, according to a draft report provided by the district.
