FORTIETH REGULAR MEETING
Tigard Water District
Wednesday - October 8, 1947 - 7:30 p.m.
Delegation from Gaarde Avenue appeared at the Board Meeting of October 8,
1947, requesting information on costs of water from our District. Owners
On Huested Ave. also interested - they connect to Gaarde Avenue. Explain d
1/264l,,r to them by Mr. Cook as follows:
Installation of meter - $35.00
600 cu. ft. 2.00
Over 600 cu. ft. 25¢ per 100 cu. ft.
Users must connect to meter at property line and furnish their own materials
to make connection.
Delegation asked if with 100% use of the water, how soon the main could be
installed. Advised this would be done as soon as possible, perhaps in
the next eight to twelve months. Explained that we are financially embarrassed,
having cn hand $3,000.00 with an income of about $900.00 per runt h. Don't
know how much it would cost to lay the main, but believe we could do it on
credit.
Delegation advised they should secure 100% of property vine rs to sign for
the water, indicating their property description on the petition, with both
husband and wife to sign, and also indicating who will take water each month.
When petition is returned, it will be forwarded by the Board to uiashingtcn
County for recording, through our attorney.
Committee from the Business Men's Club heard, consisting of Mr. Barngrover,
chairman, Mr. Doherty and Mr. Root. This committee appointed by the Club
to see about a few more hydrants in Tigard. Would be satin fied with stand
pipes. Would include stand pipe and valve with 2-1/2" connection, using
the same size pipe as the main and then reducing it at the top. Stand pipe,
valve and all probably wouldn't cost over $30.00, whereas regular hydrants
cost in the neighborhood of $90.00.
Motion made and carried that Mr. Barngrover, who is also Fire Chief of the
Tualatin District, should set down with Mr. Blevins, our Superintendent ,
and select the 10 most dangerous points for fire hazard of "A" priority,
10 more of "B" priority and 10 of "C" priority.
For our information, Mr. Barngrover stated they ran our fire hydrant near
the high school for 45 minutes at 550 gallons perminute and did not lower
the water in the tank below the 25,000 mark. This is an excellent supply
of water, for in case of fire the best you could expect with an average
supply of water would be 20 to 25 minutes. This supply would be approx-
imately the same all aver the district, since this hydrant was turned on
at the end of the line.
Mr. Root advised for the benefit of the delegation present that the Business
Men's Club was taking it on themselves to get a building to house fire
apparatus in Tigard so that when there is a fire it won 't have to come
from Tualatin, but could be here and get to the fire in a *loft time. He
stated it was quite an advantage to be in this water district where we
have such a good supply of water and if we can have stand pipe connections
the fire department could hook on without losing time. The housing of
one fire truck in Tigard is contemplated.
