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. I, I “u t 11II 1r.
