Citizens Advisory Committee for Water Master Plan
PROPOSED RESOLUTION
The Washington County Citizen's Water Advisory Committee recommends to the
Washington County Board of Commissioners that it take immediate steps to form a
Wholesale Water County Service District (WWCSD) .
It is our opinion that a WWCSD will be necepsary to assure the financing nec-
essary to obtain an adequate, interconnected, reliable, multi-source wholesale water
supply for Washington County for the future at tie least possible cost.
The WWC:;D:
1. Shall have as its primary purpose the assurance of adequate supplies of
water to Washington County water districts and cities for resale by them to water con-
sumers.
2. Shall use its funds solely for the purpose of providing ade ;uat , w.iter supplies
and not fur general County purposes.
3. Shalt not sell water directly to any water consumer ether tt n .t .-Iovetilin; ,ital
entity.
The following steps should be taken by the Board of Lo•- n t- r
1 . L't for to taking formal steps to establish the WWC;:u, coasult_ with the yon_rn -
ing bodies of Washington County cities and water, water control, and irrigation dis-
tricts to obtain their opinions upon the boundaries, format'on, financing and operation
of the WWCSD.
2. Establishment of the proposed boundaries of. the WWCSD, after taking into con-
sideration the views of the cities and districts. It is the present opinion of this
Advisory Committee that the WWCSD should have as its boundaries the present boundaries
of the Unified Sewerage Agency.
3. incorporation of the opinions obtained from the ciLies an(l districts into a
plan for Formation of the WWCSD, and the obtaining of as broad a concensus as possible
among the cities and districts on such a plan.
4. Negotiation with the various agencies involved in purchasing, supplying, and
regulating water for the purpose of obtaining water rights and contracts for purchase
and sale of wholesale water. These negotiations should be guided by the recommendations
of Plan 2 of the Tualatin Basin Water Master Plan, 1973 Revision, by Stevens, Thompson,
and Runyan, and of the related Financing Plan, February 1974, by Bartle Wells, except
as otherwise recommended herein and except as later developments may make it desirable
to modify such recommendations. Such developments might include:
a. The City of Hillsboro's recently announced plans for pumping, treatment,
and transmission facilities.
