Resolution 15-92 TIGARD WATER DISTRICT
RESOLUTION 15-92
A RESOLUTION ESTABLISHING A POLICY FOR EXTRA-TERRITORIAL WATER SERVICE
CONNECTIONS.
WHEREAS, it has been the Board's unwritten policy not to provide water service to out of
District properties; and
WHEREAS, the Board desires a formal written policy regarding out of District service; and
WHEREAS, providing water connections out of district encourages growth outside the Urban
Growth Boundary; and
WHEREAS, the current Water District boundary is also the Urban Growth Boundary;
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED that the Board of Commissioners of the Tigard Water
District will not approve any future extra-territorial water service connections, except for
those written requests meeting the following criteria:
1. When the Board finds that a hardship exists where the property owner provides proof
of a contaminated source of water to an existing single family dwelling; or
aw 2. When proof is provided that the existing source supply for an existing single family
dwelling is insufficient to sustain a reasonable standard of living, where insufficient is
defined as, but not limited to, an existing well which does not produce adequate usable
quantities of water for domestic consumption due to geologic formation. It must be
demonstrated that deepening the well will not, in all probability, result in an increase in
usable water supply. Documentation is to be provided by a qualified geologist or
hydrologist; and
3. Property owner agrees to pay the property's pro rata share of a water main across its
street frontage when installed; and
4. At such time that the Urban Growth Boundary is changed (with review expected in the
year 2000), the property owner agrees to immediately initiate annexation proceedings
into the District;
BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED that this Resolution shall take effect immediately.
