Executive Summary
JOINT WATER SUPPLY SYSTEM ANALYSIS
ES.1 BACKGROUND
The Cities of Lake Oswego and Tigard (Cities) retained Carollo Engineers in June 2006 to
develop and evaluate options for the possible formation of a joint water supply system for the
two communities. This report, which summarizes the results of the Joint Water Supply
System Analysis (JWSSA), presents a range of supply alternatives, and addresses the
design, financing, permitting, governance, and public outreach issues associated with
implementing the proposed joint water supply system, as well as the potential impacts of
conservation and interim supply alternatives.
ES.2 SUPPLY SCENARIOS
The City of Lake Oswego's (City, Lake Oswego) existing water supply system is essentially
at capacity. The capacity of the existing system is 16 million gallons per day (mgd), existing
demands are over 15 mgd, and projected build-out demands are 24 mgd. Therefore, Lake
Oswego needs to expand their supply capacity or reduce per capita water demands
substantially in the near future. The water service areas for Lake Oswego and Tigard are
presented in Figures ES.1 and ES.2, respectively.
Four supply scenarios were developed to address the needs of Lake Oswego and Tigard.
These scenarios are as follows:
1. Scenario 1: Existing Capacity (16 mgd)
This scenario represents the existing demands and capacity of the Lake Oswego
infrastructure.
2. Scenario 2: Future Capacity (24 mgd)
This scenario represents the required capacity to treat the build-out demands of the
Lake Oswego water service area.
3. Scenario 3: Senior Water Right Capacity (32 mgd)
This scenario represents the capacity needed to convey the senior water rights that
Lake Oswego has been permitted to withdraw from the Clackamas River.
4. Scenario 4: Combined Junior and Senior Water Right Capacity (38 mgd)
This scenario represents the capacity needed to convey the combined junior and senior
water rights that Lake Oswego has been permitted to withdraw from the Clackamas
River.

ES.2.2 Implementation Timing
The following assumptions were applied to development of implementation timing of
component improvements for each scenario: 1) Tigard will begin using its share of the
water supply infrastructure in 2016, and 2) the components of the infrastructure that are
already at their maximum capacity will be improved immediately to meet the needs of Lake
Oswego.
For scenarios 3 and 4, component improvements were phased to provide incremental
capacity additions over time to defer costs.

Notes:
1. Presented In November 2006 dollars.
2. Immediate improvements should be made by 2009.
Throughout the report, capital costs are presented in November 2006 dollars to facilitate
comparison of scenarios. However, actual costs will be subject to construction cost
escalation up to the time the improvements are actually constructed. This construction cost
escalation, based on the anticipated implementation schedule for each scenario, is included
in the financial evaluation of alternative scenarios. It should be further noted that because
construction cost escalation is projected to occur at a rate greater than the general inflation
rate', scenarios that are delayed beyond the anticipated implementation schedule will likely
have a higher cost than the costs shown in the report. Further evaluation of the financial
implications associated with delaying implementation of the proposed improvements should
be conducted before final decisions are made regarding the timing of implementing
Scenarios 2-4.
ES.2.3 Financial Evaluation
A financial evaluation of the supply scenarios was conducted, which presents a comparison
of the economic impact of the scenarios for each City. Additionally, for the City of Tigard, an
evaluation of three other water supply alternatives was developed: 1) partnership with the
Joint Water Commission (JWC), 2) partnership with other regional suppliers for
development of the Willamette River Project, and 3)Tigard-only development of the
Willamette River Project.
A summary of the net present value of the scenarios over a 25-year timeframe is presented
for Lake Oswego and Tigard, in Tables ES.3 and ESA, respectively. The details,
limitations, and assumptions for the net present value analysis are presented in Chapter 6
and Appendix D of this Summary Report. The cost sharing allocation between Tigard and
Lake Oswego, the JWC, or other regional suppliers is based on a percent capacity
proportion, and may need to be revised based on the terms of the institutional arrangement
agreed upon between the two governments.

Notes
1. Net Present Values are based on a 25-Year Outlook and include a discount factor of 5%,

For Lake Oswego,the lowest cost option is to develop a joint supply with Tigard at a 38
mgd capacity (Scenario 4). Tigard's lowest cost option is to purchase water from Portland
via the new gravity connection with the WCSL-Tualatin Line (see Chapter 5)for nine
months of the year, and to purchase water from Portland via the existing water transmission
main during the peak summer months. Tigard's second lowest cost option is to partner with
other regional suppliers in the development of the Willamette River Project.
However, without the economies of scale associated with group development at the
regional level, costs increase considerably. Therefore, the next the lowest cost option for
Tigard is to develop a joint supply with Lake Oswego for 38 mgd (Scenario 4).

ES.3 CONSERVATION IMPACTS
As part of the JWSSA,the impacts of water conservation in Lake Oswego on the overall
capacity, cost, and timing of the supply scenarios was assessed. Three scenarios were
considered:
1. 5% Reduction Target, resulting in 0.5% reduction In per capita demands per year for
eleven years,
2. 10% Reduction Target, resulting in 1.0% reduction in per capita demands per year for
eleven years,
3. 25% Reduction Target, resulting in 2.5% reduction in per capita demands per year for
eleven years.
Successful implementation of any of the proposed conservation strategies would enable
Lake Oswego to defer the timing of the expansion of their water supply infrastructure;
however, no conservation strategy will eliminate the need entirely. Therefore, Lake Oswego
must still plan for the capacity expansion of their intake, raw water transmission main,
treatment plant, storage, and distribution system. Depending on the conservation strategy
adopted, Lake Oswego would be able to defer the timing of the expansion of supply
capacity from 2017 to 2037. If supply capacity expansion is deferred beyond 2009, it is
recommended that Lake Oswego implement near term reliability improvements (as
identified in Scenario 1).A summary of the capital costs and timing for each of the
proposed conservation strategies is presented in Table ES.5.

ESA INTERIM WATER SUPPLY
Lake Oswego's existing emergency intertie with the City of West Linn and a possible Intertie
to the City of Portland's Washington County Supply Line (WCSL-Tualatin Line) in Tigard
were evaluated as possible interim peak season supplies that would allow Lake Oswego to
defer near-term expansion of their existing supply system. In both cases, demands on
DRAFT-July 12, 2007 ES - 7
HACIIenllLake Oswego POR17525A001DelWrables%Draft ReporllExecutive 5ummary.doc
these altemative sources are such that peak season capacity would not be available to
meet Lake Oswego's projected peak day needs (in excess of Lake Oswego's existing
capacity); thus, they are not feasible means of deferring expansion of the Lake Oswego
supply system.
However, the proposed connection from the WCSL-Tualatin Line would potentially provide
near-term benefits to the City of Tigard by decreasing Tigard's costs for non-peak season
water purchases from Portland. If Tigard were able to purchase approximately 50% of its
annual average supply from Portland through the new gravity connection, the total
operating savings would be approximately 14 percent per year(actual savings will depend
on required agreements with Portland and WCSL owners), resulting in a potential net
savings (less construction cost)during the nine years remaining on Tigard's existing
contract with Portland of approximately $1 million.
In addition, Lake Oswego, Tigard and other water providers in the region would benefit by
having this connection available as an emergency intertie between the Portland and Lake
Oswego supply systems.
Also considered as a potential source of interim supply was purchase of additional capacity
from the South Fork Water Board (SFWB). As an alternative to constructing a new Lake
Oswego intake, conceptual-level cost estimates were developed for purchasing raw water
capacity from SFWB's existing intake on the Clackamas River.
The cost for purchasing raw water intake capacity from the SFWB ranges from
approximately$13 million to $16 million for Scenarios 3 and 4, respectively.This cost is
dominated by the relatively large cost of the transmission pipeline and river crossing
required to convey water from the SFWB intake to the Lake Oswego intake. In comparison,
the cost of constructing a new Lake Oswego raw water intake for Scenarios 3 and 4 is
approximately $4.4 million to $4.7 million, respectively (see Chapter 2). Given the large cost
difference between the SFWB option and construction of a new intake, it is recommended
that the option for purchasing raw water capacity from the South Fork Water Board be
dropped from further consideration in the Joint Water Supply System Analysis.
ES.5 WATER RIGHTS
The State of Oregon's water rights laws are based on the prior appropriation doctrine: the
first person to obtain a water right on a stream is the last to be shut-off during times of
drought. Therefore, Lake Oswego's water rights on the Clackamas River have relatively
high priority as compared to most other municipal water rights holders. Lake Oswego's
senior water rights are the second largest on the river, at 32 mgd, and their junior water
rights (6 mgd) are senior to 109 mgd of other holders rights.
Recently, new regulatory requirements promulgated under House Bill 3038 (HB 3038) have
modified the requirements for municipal water right extensions and the Oregon Water
Resources Department's policy for perfection of municipal water rights. Under HB 3038, it is
DRAFT- July 12, 2007 ES - 8
HACIleni'Lake Oswego_POR17525&OO1DellverabfeskDrafl ReportlExecufive Summary.doc
expected that instream flows will be increased 20%-60% over the existing instream rights
on the Clackamas River. To address the potential impacts of HB 3038, Portland State
University conducted extensive modeling2 of the lower Clackamas River. This modeling
indicates that in general, in typical weather years, the availability of Lake Oswego's water
rights will not be impacted. This is due to two factors: 1)The timing of the City's peak
demands, which typically occur in July or August, as compared to the timing of typical low
stream flow, which occurs in September, and 2) Flow releases from Timothy Lake, based
on existing agreements between other water rights holders and Portland General Electric. It
should be noted that under the most extreme low flow conditions (based on the lowest flows
on record), it is possible that Lake Oswego would need to reduce their supply by about 3.5
mgd over a two week period in the low flow season.
Specifically, under average conditions (average river flows from 2000-2005 and existing
withdrawals by water rights holders on the Clackamas), the PSU modeling indicates that
Lake Oswego would need to reduce their withdrawals from the river by about two percent
(0.5 mgd)for approximately one day per year. In extreme conditions, based on flows from
2000-2005 and assuming future demands such that all holders are fully utilizing all of their
available water rights (and with releases from Timothy Lake), it is possible that Lake
Oswego would need to reduce their withdrawals by about 12 percent. This would result in
an average reduction for Lake Oswego of 2.6 mgd in supply over a period of 40 days.
Within this 40-day shortfall period, a maximum one-day reduction of up to 18 percent (4
mgd) could occur. However, it should be noted that this very conservative condition does
not consider the priority of water rights. Additionally, the total existing build-out demand
projections for municipal water right holders comprise only 60 percent3 of the total existing
maximum municipal rights on the Clackamas River.
ES.6 ORGANIZATION AND GOVERNANCE OPTIONS
As the City of Lake Oswego and the Tigard Water Service Area consider long-term water
supply improvements, governance becomes a key consideration. The nature and
complexity of the proposed Joint Water Supply project, and the associated significant
capital investments, requires discussion and adoption of a service delivery model beyond
the existing surplus water supply contract.
There are five alternative governance structures for a joint water supply that could be used
by the Cities:
1. An intergovernmental agreement ("IGA")
2 "Lower Clackamas River Model: Model Development, Calibration, Scenarios, Executive Summary,
and Hydrodynamics,"Water Quality Research Group, Department of Civil and Environmental
Engineering,Technical Report EWR-01-06-ES, October 2006.
3 It should be noted that if the current CRW applications for 96 mgd are not permitted, the build-out
demand projections will be 90 percent of the maximum municipal water rights on the Clackamas
River.
DRAFT- July 12, 2007 ES - 9
HACIlenfU.ake Oswego_POR17525A.00113elive rablesTfraft RoporllExecullve Summary.doc
2. People's Utility District ("PUD")
3. Domestic water supply district ("Water District")
4. County Service District ("Service District")
5. Water Authority ("Water Authority").
The details on each governance structure is provided in Chapter 8. A summary and
comparison of utility service delivery models is presented in Appendix G.
Based on discussions with staff from both Cities, the preferred govemance structure,
should a joint water supply be developed, Is an IGA, which is formed under ORS Chapter
190 by a written agreement between local governments, and approved by ordinances of
each party's Council. An IGA is the simplest form of structure for water supply. Although
there are some limitations, an IGA provides the most flexibility regarding the relationship
between the participating entities. An IGA may be formed without a vote by the electors, the
governing body of an IGA may be appointed by the participating cities, the participating
entities may retain ownership in the facilities like a partnership agreement, and the
agreement between the parties defines the powers of the new entity. It is also easier to
withdraw from or dissolve an IGA, or to add new partners or make an amendment, than
with the other governance structures. It should be noted that an IGA is limited by the
inability to levy taxes or issue general obligation bonds. However, these factors are not
usually major drivers in utility settings because of the ability of the entity and its underlying
partners to charge utility fees and charges and system development charges.
If Lake Oswego and Tigard agree to use an IGA as the basis of a joint water supply system,
it is further recommended that the parties engage in a process of developing the anticipated
terms of such an agreement. The list of issues identified in Appendix I of this report is
intended to serve as a starting point for further discussion between the Cities. It is
recommended that the financial terms of such an agreement, including fiscal authority,
system ownership, and fiscal standards, be an initial priority since these terms will establish
the basis for subsequent financial evaluation of the proposed joint supply system.
ES.7 BENEFITS OF JOINT SUPPLY
The benefits of a potential joint water supply between Lake Oswego and Tigard are
presented below:
COST SAVINGS
Partnering with Tigard would provide Lake Oswego significant financial benefits. By
jointly constructing a 38 mgd water supply system with Tigard, Lake Oswego and its
ratepayers could save about$63 million in equivalent annual costs over the next 25 years,
including about$23 million in one-time capital savings.

Partnering will minimize and smooth future rate increases for Lake Oswego. By jointly
constructing a 38 mgd water supply system with Tigard and assuming a 24mgd/14mgd
(Lake Oswego/Tigard) allocation of new supply capacity, rate increases for Lake Oswego
are forecasted to be increase cumulatively 56%over the next 25 years, as compared to
cumulative increases of almost three times as much (148%) for the "Lake Oswego go it
alone" scenario.
Based on a capacity share cost allocation, the least cost options for Tigard are to purchase
water from Portland via a new intertie with the WCSL-Tualatin Line or to partner with TVWD
to develop a supply on the Willamette River ($98 and $123 million, respectively). However,
Tigard's third lowest cost option is to partner with Lake Oswego for 38 mgd ($141
million), and would provide a supply on the Clackamas River.
Although purchasing water from Portland is the least cost scenario for Tigard in the 25-year
timeframe, the rate impacts of this scenario do not exhibit the same results. While the other
scenarios include capital projects that can be offset with a supply SDC revenue stream,
purchased wholesale water costs cannot be offset with any additional revenue source.
Therefore, the resulting annual rate impacts of Tigard's water supply options are a
cumulative increase of about 113% over the next 25 years to partner with Lake Oswego,
128% to partner with other regional providers on the Willamette River, or 169% to purchase
water from Portland.
Partnering can be the first step in a multi-step process. An agreement to form a
partnership means preliminary work related to cost sharing, operating protocols, form of
governance, and allocation scenarios can be initiated without burdening either City with the
need to immediately finance a large capital project.
WATER RIGHTS
Partnering would help secure Lake Oswego's rights. Lake Oswego holds senior water
rights (32 mgd) and junior water rights (6 mgd) on the Clackamas River. These rights are of
relatively high priority compared with other municipal users of the river, but rights in excess
of future demands may be at risk from recent increases in instream rights. Partnership with
Tigard would enable Lake Oswego to secure the unused portion of their existing water
rights.
CONSERVATION
Partnering plus water conservation would provide significant benefits to both Cities.
A successful conservation program in Lake Oswego would shift a greater capacity share to
Tigard. Depending on conservation savings, Tigard's share could be sufficient to completely
meet its long-term build-out demands. This would result in Tigard's cost share increasing to
about 70% of the cost of the supply expansion needed to meet both cities'future water
demands.

REGIONAL RELIABILITY
Constructing an interne between Tigard and the Washington County Supply Line would
save Tigard approximately$300,000 in annual operating costs and would pay for itself
in about 5 years.
Partnering would provide regional benefits. Lake Oswego, Tigard, and other water
suppliers would benefit from connections to other regional systems for emergency backup,
improved reliability and source optimization, and is consistent with the goals of the Regional
Water Supply Plan.

Tigard/Lake Oswego
Water Partnership
The City of Tigard is the water provider for the Tigard Eater Service Area (TWSA)
comprised of Durham, King City, tzvo-thirds of Tigard, and the unincorporated area to the
south and west of Tigard.
just the Facts . . .
How would this partnership work?
Tigard and Lake Oswego would work together to increase the capacity of Lake Oswego's
existing water system. The new system will ultimately supply 24 million gallons of water per
day to Lake Oswego and 14 million gallons of water per day to Tigard. The two cities
would:
• Work to secure surplus water rights on the Clackamas River. �'
• Jointly fund improvements to replace the river intake, expand water treatment plant
capacity, construct a reservoir, and upsize transmission lines.
Why do we need more water?
The TWSA's current peak water demand can reach 13 million gallons a day and this number
is expected to reach 20 million gallons a day by the year 2040. Current sources are not
capable of meeting this increased demand for water.
Where would the water come from?
Water would be drawn from the Clackamas River. The source originates in the Clackamas
River Basin which encompasses 940 square miles and begins in the Mount Hood National
Forest.
What about water quality?
Finished water from this source meets and/or exceeds all federal and state drinking water
standards.
What will it cost? How will this affect water rates?
The entire project is estimated to cost $136 million. Tigard's share of the
improvements and cost to buy into Lake Oswego's existing system is
estimated at $81 million. Water rates are expected to double by the year 2017.
