1. Resolution to approve minutes of last meeting.
2. Visitors.
a. AdriTstments for undetected water leaks.
With the high water consumption during the month there are many
residents who claim they had undetected water leaks on their side of
the meter. Adjustments in their water bills have been requested.
The Board has authorized me to make adjustments to the extent that
the district may absorb up to one-half of that amount over the average
consumption of previous year's bill for the same period. However, this
has been an extremely dry and prolonged summer where the average house-
hold consumed considerably more water than in like periods for previous
years. TWD showed an increase of 31% in water consumption over September
1973. Consequently, some owners with high water bills have been advised
to appear before the Board.
Before this coneept of assisting owners with an undetected water
leak gets out of hand perhaps we should require proof of a leak or
proof that a plumber was hired or materials purchased to repair the
leak. One lady has the greenest lawn in town with an $80 water bill.
She now claims to have had an undetected leak. In any event, the 31%
increase in water district consumption should be applied in each case.
b. Mr. and Mrs. Doolev,.
I suppose Mr. and Mrs. Dooley will appear before the Board to claim
that they were treated unfairly. Their water was turned off due to non-
payment for the pressure-reducing valve which was furnished and installed
by the TWD. Mrs. Dooley claims the bill was not paid because the matter
was under investigation. Commissioner Schwartz advised her to pay the
bill and then investigate. If an injustice has occurred the money can be
refunded.
3. Resolution to pay vouchers.

4. Resolution to grant Cooper Mountain Water District a partial water
ziobt to pump 12 acre-feet (4 million gallons) annually from their own
well.
Cooper Mountain Water District must have its water source problems
resolved by November 17, 1974 or must cease all pumping from their only
source of water which is one deep well.
Ken Baines has presented the legal problems involved in granting a
partial water right whereby one can conclude that the granting of such
right, in all probability, would be permanent and not temporary. The
State Engineer is governed by the statutes and it is doubtful that he
will alter or modify his position. However, I believe Ken Baines should
continue his efforts to obtain some special consideration in this case.
Ken Baines has advised you on the legal problems in regaining a
water right. With that in mind you should weigh: whether the granting
of a partial (permanent) water right, in this case, is of material
significance to the water district to cause a decision not to grant
such right.
From my point of view as the Administrator/Engineer I am not concern
in the slightest about granting a partial right, temporary or permanent,
to pump water from our appropriation. My conclusions are based upon the
following:
a. Presently impossible for TWD to pump full allocation of 1060
acre-feet.
The following chart shows the quantity of water pumped and purchased
during the past 12 months:

897 acre-feet 39,063 52,204 91,267 57% -2-
likur ADMINISTRATOR'S REPORT (Continued)
Only 897 acre-feet has been pumped from the ground this past year
and the district's allocation is 1060 acre-feet. No. 4 well was turned
off for 6 months because of the high mineral content in the water, and
due to the fact that the pump is oil-lubricated, oil gets mixed with the
potable water. Ne. 3 well has been pumping air for some time. We are
at the bottom of the barrel there.
One cannot agree to abandon a water right based soley upon the
reason noted above because the water table could reestablish itself,
particularly if the restrictions on pumping as imposed by the State
Engineer should prove successful in preventing the continued " mining
of the ground water supply". On the other hand, if the State Engineer's
program proves successful he could also increase the annual allocation
to the TWD and restore Cooper Mountain's right to pump water.
b. Wells supplement TWD water supply'.
From the chart on the preceding page it is readily apparent that
the Clackamas River (Lake Oswego) is now the district's primary source
of supply. During the past year 57% of the water consumed was imported
surface water. Observe that during the months of August and September,
over 70% of the total water supply was purchased from Lake Oswego. As
the district continues to expand and meet the needs of additional homes,
businesses and industry, the percentage of water imported will increase.
At the present growth rate, within 4 years, 90% of the water consumed
in the summer will be surface water, either Clackamas River or Bell Run.
It is obvious that well water will play a less and less significant part
in the vital needs of the water district. The days of well water providing
the needs of the district are gone.
c. Impossible to deprieve TWD's customers of adequate water by,
granting a partial right.
In my judgment there is no possible way in which TWD can be harmed
by granting a partial water right of 12 acre-feet. Let us assume the
worst possible condition.
The district has the right to pump 1060 acre-feet annually. Assume
that Cooper Mountain Water District was granted a partial right to pump
12 acre-feet per year, leaving the TWD with 1048 acre-feet. Let us assume,
further, that if on November 1st of any calendar year TWD pumped its 1048
acre-feet allocation and was then required to shut off the pumps. Water
for the remaining two months of the year would have to be imported surface
water. During the winter months all water systems operate at about 25%
N.. -3-
ADMINISTRATOR'S REPORT (Continued)
capacity so either Lake Oswego or Portland would welcome the increased
business. Of course the district would have to pay for the additional
water, but Cooper Mountain has agreed to reimburse the district if we
are required to purchase water in lieu of pumping.
I cannot imagine any situation where 12 acre-feet (4 million gallons)
of water per year would "make or break" the TWD. On many occasions the
district has consumed that mach water inone day. It is a relatively
insignificant amount of water to the district.
Accordingly, without hesitation or doubt, I recommend that Cooper
Mountain Water District be granted a pattial pumping right of 12 acre-
feet per year in accordance with Mr. Jett's proposed agreement which
includes those provisions prescribed by Ken Baines.
5. Other business.
6. Water Consumption at all-time high.
The enclosed graph shows the water consumption for the month of
September. Over 90 million gallons of water were consumed or an average
of 3 million gallons per day. The district's previous high was in July
of this year when 71 million gallons were consumed. This high volume of
water consumption has the following significances
a. That the water supply system was tested to the maximum extent,
and revealed that the Lake Oswego connection was properly designed,
constructed, and adequate for the immediate needs of the district.
b. That the distribution system was properly sized and designed
to provide ample water to all customers with no reduced pressures. Also,
maximum fire protection was available at all times.
c. That the district should have 9 million gallons (3 days average
consumption) of storage in lieu of the 7.4 million gallons on hand.

7. Financing for new reservoir.
Methods to finance the new 5-million gallon reservoir are being
studied. A bond issue is usually the most acceptable manner in which
to attain the necessary funds. The philosophy that some of the financial
burden for capital improvements should be placed upon future users as
well as present ones is a good one. Historically, at least for the TWD,
bond issues have been worthwhile and have saved the district considerable
funds. Interest rates have varied between 2-3/40 to 5%. The district
accomplished capital improvements on a timely basis which, if duplicated
today, would cost 3 to 4 tines as much.
I am reluctant to recommend that the district go further in debt
with a bond issue although the district's tax base can support one.
I have always attempted to avoid the 3 D's (debt, death and the devil).
Paying as one goes along and living within a budget has always made more
sense to me although there are many millionaires walking around who got
rich on borrowed funds.
We have exhausted all avenues to increase revenues, including water
rates, meter installations, fire sprinkler rates, etc. The tax rate has
been hovering around 300 per $1,000 assessed valuation for many years
and should remain there.
In 1979-80 the bond issue of 1959 will be paid off which will save
about $12,000 annually. Also, in 1983-84 the bond issue of 1962 w111 be
paid off which will save about $18,000 annually.
I have been attempting to accomplish all pipe replacements within a
3-year period so that future funds could be diverted toward the new
reservoir. Whether I am successful in this regard remains to be seen.
It appears that a bond issue which could be paid off on a short term
basis, if desired, is probably the best course of action. The timing of
such a bond election is very important and it is proposed that it be con-
sidered for August 1975. We may find that the actual selling of the bonds
is not required until 1976 or 1977, but the authority should be approved
by the voters so that you can select the most advantages time to issue the
bonds.

ADMINISTRATOR'S REPORT (Continued)
8. Construction of 5-million _Fallon reservoir
Since it was announced publicly that the district intended to con-
struct a new reservoir several engineering firms have shown an interest
in performing the design and supervision. (engineering). CH M wrote a
letter, copy, of which is enclosed. Elden Carter called to *Oise that
he was interested. I am sure Gil Meigs at ST&R, and Bob Meyer and
Associates are interested too.
In the past Elden Carter has charged the district 8% of construction
costs for engineering. It is estimated that a 5-million gallon concrete
sub-surface reservoir will cost about $500,000 in 1976-7. Engineering
fees can be estimated at $40,000.
I have never designed a reservoir, but I am willing to try.
Practically all sizes of reservoirs have been designed and are well
documented and recorded. The DYK Company of El Cajon (San Diego),
California has available the prepared plans and specifications for steel
and concrete tanks for capacities from 0.5 to 35 million gallons. They
;ro• will provide the plans and specifications free of charge, just for the
opportunity to submit a bid to the general contractor on the pre-stressing
of the concrete. With such complete plans available it should not be
difficult to adapt these plans to our situation. Just as Elden Carter
does, I would present the proposed design to an independent structural
engineer to ensure that the reservoir was strong enough and designed
properly.
I would not attempt such a venture without additional knowledge.
This may entail taking some engineering courses at Oregon State University
or perhaps taking a trip to the DYK Company in San Diego.
This winter I believe time will be available to acquire the necessary
knowledge. All water main replacements and extensions for this fiscal year
will be essentially completed by December. No additional pump stations
need to be designed although one will be installed in April 1975 at Bi Tor.
There will be few, if any, annexations to the water district. Other than
expanding the administrative office next July I cannot envision any pro-
jects that will require a lot of my time. Therefore, with your concurrence,
I would like to proceed in the design of a 5-million gallon reservoir for
the district.

14. Water supply from Scogin Dam.
A Board of Commissioners' resolution on April 13, 1971 approved
the proposed form of contract between the United States and Tigard Water
District for a water supply of 2,500 acre-feet (815 million gallons)
annually from Scoggin Dam when the dam is completed. This was subse-
quently approved by formal contract #14-06-100-7182 dated November 18,
1971 and signed by the Chairman and Treasurer. Enclosed are copies of
some of the pertinent correspondence and extracts of the contract on
this subject.
The Scoggin Dam project will be completed next year. Under the
terms of the contract the Tigard Water District must meet some of its
obligations provided therein.
The district can obtain water at either the dam site or on the
Tualatin River near Tigard with a treatment plant. The estimated cost
for a 15-mile pipe line from Hillsboro to Tigard in accordance with
the Washington County Master Water Plan is estimated at $4 million
consisting 28-inch to 40-inch pipe diameters. A treatment plant
would cost about 250 per gallon or $2.5 million for a 10-million plant.
Obviously, the TWD is not prepared to take on either project in the
immediate future.
The Tualatin Valley Irrigation District will meet at 9:00 a.m.,
October 21st, to review water release schedules from Scoggin Dam for
1975. (Letter enclosed).
The TWD has made a commitment to purchase 2,500 acre-feet annually,
but this can be deferred for a 10-year period. Thus, the TWD is not
obligated to repay its share of the construction charge until 10-years
after water becomes available
It should be noted that commencing next year the district will be
obligated to pay its share of the annual operation and maintenance costs.
These costs without deferral are shown to be $1960. Costs with deferral
are based upon the proportion of each entities quantity of water under
contract to the total quantity of municipal and industrial (M & I) water
under all contracts.
Article 27 of the contract provides for the assignment or transfer
of water to another entity upon approval of the Secretary of the Interior.
Efforts should be made to transfer our rights and be relieved of the
financial obligation.

Dear Bob:
As we discussed a couple of weeks ago, CH2M HILL would like to present its
qualifications to the Board of Commissioners for providing consulting
services for the 5-million-gallon reservoir the water district is planning near
S .W. 125th and Gaarde. CH2M HILL has provided engineering consulting
*.r and construction services on numerous water system storage projects for
many clients. The attached list of reservoir construction projects identifies
many of these clients and projects.
I believe you indicated that the selection of a consultant for the reservoir proj-
ect would not occur until project financing has been arranged. When that
occurs, we would like the opportunity to present a full set of CH2M HILL's
up-to-date credentials to you and the Board of Commissioners for your con-
sideration.
It was interesting to read in the August 18 edition of the Tigard Times that you
are exploring the possibility of a short-term bank loan to finance the project rather
than to sell bonds in the more conventional manner. I will be interested in the
opinion of your legal counsel about that proposal . Since I am soon to become
a customer of the water district, I was also interested in the rate comparison with
adjacent water purveyors and in the amount saved by purchasing water from Lake
Oswego rather than from the Portland Water Bureau . As I indicated, CH2M HILL
is completing a water study for Lake Oswego and the first priority construction
project is the Waluga Reservoir. In addition to being what is needed for
Lake Oswego, Waluga Reservoir should provide additional flexibility in the
operation of your source from Lake Oswego.

We suggest that those requesting water releases for

what will be their requirements. •
Hopefully the Bureau will have received some
indication as to the filling schedule for Henry Hagg
Lake which they can also share wit : us.
Please mark your calendar for October 21.

.)o much for the preliminaries. Let's talk about municipal and industrial
water.
As we said, each community or entity was allotted a block of water, based
on its intent. Our plans now provide that the M&I water for Forest Grove,
rlrn`
Hillsboro, Beaverton, and Tigard, would be made available at the dam. This
would be compatible with the Washington County Master Plan. The head available
from the reservoir would provide some pressure to reduce pumping requirements.
Lake Oswego Corporation will receive its water at the canal headworks .
This is a reimbursable function by law--reimbursable with interest.
The interest rate is 3.342 percent in F.Y. 1970. It could be adjusted upward
at the time of start of construction.
The total project investment at the July 1969 price level is $33,325,000.
Of this amount, $4,221,000 is allocated to municipal water and $2,923,000 to
water quality control.
Municipal and Industrial Water Supply
The annual financial costs over a 50-year repayment period to each munici-
pality without deferral are summarized below:
Annual Annual
Project Water Annual Cost Operating Total Annual
Municipality Supply (A.F.) Principal & Interest Cost Financial Costs
Forest Grove 4,500 $ 56 ,210 $ 3,530 $ 59,740
Hillsboro 4,500 56,210 3,530 59 ,740
Beaverton 1,500 18,740 1,180 19 ,920
Tigard 2,500 31,240 1,960 33,200
Lake Oswego 1,000 12,480 790 13,270
Total 14,000 $174,880 $10,990 $185,870
This cost ,amounts to 4 cents per 1,000 gallons.
The Water Supply Act of 1958 allows for some deferral of costs that may
be helpful to you. The law states that
"the entire amount of the construction costs, including interest
during construction shall be repaid within the life of the project,
hut in no event to exceed fifty years after the project is first
( used for the storage of water supply purposes, except that (1) no
payment need be made until such supply is first used, and (2) no
• 4
N�
interest shall be charged on such cost until such supply is first
used, but in no case shall the interest-free period exceed 10 years."
We have a slide to illustrate how this deferment might work.

Now let's move on to water quality control.
The investment here is $2,923,000, which is also totally reimbursable
with interest over a 50-year period.
• The annual cost for this function is $127,290;as planned, the project
would provide the following flows below the control point--the Lake Oswego
Corporation dam: 73 cfs in July and August, and 62 cfs in September. In
other months the natural flows are sufficient to meet water quality needs.
These flows represent 52 percent of the 1980 requirement developed in
err cooperation with the Federal Water Quality Administration.
The following. slide will illustrate this aspect of the project.

Mr. Robert E . Santee
Administrator, Tigard Water District
8841 S.W. Commercial St.
Tigard, Oregon 97223
Dear Mr. Santee:
On January 19, 1971, representatives of this office met with you
and others regarding the furnishing of a municipal and industrial
water supply from the proposed Tualatin Federal Reclamation Project.
At that meeting, each entity requested that the payment of its con-
struction charge obligation, including interest charges, not begin
until the 10th year following the availability of project water.
This is to allow the cities time to prepare plans for the possible
construction of a common pipeline to convey water from Scoggins
Dam and for the incorporation of the Tualatin Project water supply
'460 into their existing supplies .
til
We have discussed the foregoing with the Commissioner of Reclamation
and it was concluded that the contracts with the four cities for
municipal and industrial water from the Tualatin Federal Reclamation
Project would be prepared along the following lines:
1 . With water availability, each entity will begin to pay
its share of the annual operation and maintenance costs of Scoggins
Dam and Reservoir which are allocated to municipal and industrial
use. Each entity's share of this amount is determined in the pro-
portion that the entity's quantity of water under contract bears to
the total quantity of municipal and industrial water under all con-
tracts (Article llb) ;
2. Each entity will begin to repay its construction charge
obligation not later than 10 years after water is available and the
repayment period will extend for 50 years thereafter. In the event
that water is diverted by the entity during the 10-year period, the
entity shall commence payment on a proportionate share of its con-
tractual obligation which will be repaid within 50 years . The amount
1.arr...m.n,
of the construction charge obligation on which payment would begin
if water is diverted during the 10-year period, is determined in
the ratio that the actual quantity of water diverted in said year,
increased to the nearest 100 acre-feet, bears to the entity's total
quantity of water under contract (Article 9b) .
It is anticipated that project water will be available in 1975 and
the first construction charge obligation will be payable on Decem-
ber 31 , 1985. On the basis of the foregoing, the entire construction
charge obligation will be repaid not later than the 60th year after
water becomes available. This period would be shortened if water
is diverted during the first 10 years .
One of the entities questioned whether it would be possible to transfer
the water to another entity thus withdrawing the water from the original
contractor and reducing its contractual commitment. The proposed
contract does not preclude this possibility as Article 27 provides
for the assignment or transfer of this contract or any part upon
approval by the Secretary of the Interior.
The enclosed draft of contract is identical with that discussed with
you at the January 19 meeting except for Article 9b, which has been
revised in accordance with the afore-described repayment arrangements
and the deletion of the reference in Article 16b to the installation
of equipment by the entities to measure return flows discharged from
its facilities. The same contract has been submitted to each of the
four cities. Information concerning the estimated project costs, the
amount allocated to municipal and industrial water supply, and the
annual installments, is enclosed.
As you are aware, the electorate in the Tualatin Valley Irrigation
District recently apprcved the irrigation repayment contract. With
this approval , we intend to proceed with the acquisition of some
right-of-way. We anticipate that construction funds will be avail -
able in fiscal year 1972. However, we cannot proceed with the award
of a construction contract until the municipal and industrial contracts
have been executed. Thus, it is imperative that contract execution
proceed expeditiously.
To initiate action on contract execution., it will be necessary for
you to furnish this office with a resolution from the City Council
or the Board of Directors approving the form of contract identified
as Field Solicitor's draft 3/12/71 . Thereafter, we can proceed with
2
✓' the approval of the form of contract by the Commissioner of Recla-
mation and the Secretary of the Interior, which must be accomplished
prior to execution. Since we desire to maintain uniformity between
the city contracts, any revisions which you think may be necessary
would have to be approved by all parties prior to their inclusion
in the contract.
Your early consideration of this matter will be greatly appreciated.
Sincerely,
\
Regional Director
