Budget Committee
Tigard Water District
Tigard, Oregon 97223
Gentlemen:
The last budget meeting has been scheduled for Tuesday, June 10th,
at 7:30 p.m.
Mr. Bruce Clark, City of Tigard Administrator, intends to appear
before the committee to request that funds be provided so that mains,
fire hydrants, meters, and fire sprinkler vaults can be moved along S.W.
Hunziker Street in preparation for street improvements. Mr. Clark believes
the TWD should assume all costs in lowering and moving the pipes, fittings,
etc. Cost is estimated at $18,000.
hinds are certainly not available in the current budget, ending June
30, 1975. I am watching receipts and expenditures on a daily basis in an
effort to finish the fiscal year in the black.
You are all familiar with the proposed budget for next year. Each
line item was examined and justified in detail. There is no "slush" fund
available and only $1600 is in the contingency fund.
Probably the most important fact about the proposed project is that
it accomplishes nothing for the TWD. The customers will not be served
better, pressures will be the same, fire protection will not improve, etc.
In other words, for the TWD it is a complete waste of time and effort.
I am for cooperating with the city to the maximum extent by performing
tasks such as moving meters which involves only labor. However, I am
opposed to expending huge sums on new material such as pipe, fittings,
gravel, concrete vaults, etc., which are counter-productive to the needs
of the patrons of the TWD.
It will be your decision.
Very truly yours,
/79 z)Z /

It is noted that TWD installed 52 meters during the month of May
resulting in a total of 4,532 meters now being served in the district.
Total numbers of meters during past fiscal years are shown as follows:
Fiscal Year Total Number of Meters Meters Installed Inc.
1965-66 1961 366 23%
1966-67 2300 339 17%

wome ADMINISTRATOR'S REPORT (Continued)
The last 7 years shows an average increase of meter installations
of 8% per year. Applying this figure for the next 5 years results in
the following:
(Estimated) Meters
Total Number to be Percentage
Fiscal Year of Meters Installed Increase
1975-76 4925 365 8%
1976-77 5319 394 8%
1977-78 5744 425 8%
1978-79 6204 460 8%
1979-80 6700 496 8%
In just 5 years the district will be serving at least 6700 meters
or an accumulated increase of 47% above the present number of meters.
This is a conservative figure when examining the known pending projects
in the district, some of which are noted below:
Englewood 360 units + multiples ---- 2 years
Summerfield 1000 units + multiples ---- 4 years
',e11,. Bonn property - 109th 70 duplexes ---- 1 year
Scott property - 98th 7 duplexes ---- 1 year
Terrace Trails - 115th 46 units ---- 1 year
Total: 1483 or 1500 units
It is estimated that within 10 years, the district will be serving
about 10,000 meters. When one observes the Wolf Creek Highway Water
District (the largest in the State of Oregon) with 16,000 connections,
45 employees, including 9 office girls, an annual expenditure of over
$1 million for Bull Run water, one can get an idea of where the TWD
is headed. Within 5 years, over 90$ of the water consumed in TWD will
be surface water.
It becomes increasingly evident that an independent surface source
of water is necessary to adequately serve the customers in the future at
reasonable rates. The ST&R study will be published next month. They
will recommend (if Washington County does not get into the water busi-
ness) that TWD, jointly or singly, develop the Willamette River source
at Wilsonville. Total cost is estimated at $10 million. This would
include an intake, 15 MGD treatment plant, 36" D.I. main, and a 10-
million gallon reservoir on Bull Mountain.

w. ADMINISTRATOR'S REPORT (Continued)
If you approve of this concept, an election for the issuance
of general obligation bonds would be required. A major selling job
will be necessary.
Approval, concurrence, and/or endorsement of many agencies would
be required, including the Oregon State Engineer, Oregon State Board of
Health, Boundary Review Commission, LCDC, DEQ, Clackamas and Washington
Counties, City of Tualatin, City of Tigard, PGE, etc.
Consulting engineers will be required to design the intake and
the treatment plant. I believe that I can design the transmission
main and the reservoir. If appropriate equipment is purchased, John
Miller and his crew could install the 36" main thereby saving several
tens of thousands of dollars. This heavy equipment will be required,
at some time, to properly maintain the 36" main.
In the years ahead, water will become as important as oil in future
development. U. S. Secretary of Agriculture, Mr. Butz, is quoted as
follows in the Oregonian dated April 24, 1975:
erre WATER "TOO CHEAP"
Washington (UPI) -- The nation's farmers
have been getting water too cheaply, not fully
realizing the bargain it represents, according
to Agriculture Secretary Earl Butz. But if the
world is going to feed its rapidly expanding
population, Butz said, farmers are going to have
to realize that water is the limiting factor
and one that will become more costly. He made
the comments at the National Conference on Water,
a government-sponsored meeting which opened
Tuesday amid predictions that both the quality
and quantity of water in the years to come could
trigger a crisis that will make the energy crisis
look pale.
By starting the planning procedures at an early date, we could
be hopeful of obtaining water from the Willamette River source in the
summer of 1980.
