CALL TO ORDER The meeting of the Intergovernmental Water Board was called to order at 5:35 p.m. All Board Members were present with the exception of Lynda Jenkins and John Schwartz. 2. VISITORS Mr. Jack Polans stated that during the past four years he has been a writer- in the public's interest. He stated that it is his feeling that the general public does not know what was, what is or what the future will be as far as the Tigard Water District is concerned, the City of Tigard, and the Intergovernmental Water Board. Mr. Polans also stated that the reference library does not have sufficient information about the Tigard Water Districts Commissioners or their agendas. Chair Manning stated that she felt a portion of the responsibility belongs with the citizenry in keeping informed of pertinent issues. Mr. Polans stated that he has been involved in regards to public input with the following programs, Portland Regional Water and the Metro 2040 Regional Plan. He has also visited recently the WFR Laboratories regarding water quality. 3. APPROVAL OF MINUTES The minutes of the October 12, 1994 meeting were approved as written (meeting in November was cancelled) . A motion for approval was made by Bill Scheiderich and seconded by Paul Hunt. A voice vote was taken and passed unanimously. 4. DISCUSSION - BYLAWS It was stated that the prior information on the bylaws was distributed with the Commissioner's packets. A portion of this information was from last April when the Bylaws were being discussed. Commissioner Paul Hunt stated that he had two areas of concern: a. If electing a Chair-elect at the same time as the Chairman, you won't know at that time if that person will be on the Board a year from then. Also he stated that he felt that the current Chair-elect should not be precluded from being considered for Chair-Elect a second year. b. The date of the election is too early. If the Board would elect officers the first meeting in January, at that time you may not know who the representative will be from the other agencies. Mr. Hunt felt this should be postponed until all new members have been appointed by their respective areas. The Board discussed when members were appointed to positions. Mr. Wegner stated that since the Board was organized in January, the IGA called for a term from January 1 to December 31. Commissioner Morgan and Commissioner Scheiderich both agreed with the concerns that Commissioner Hunt stated. Commissioner Scheiderich did state that he felt there should be a vice-chair. Mr. Wegner stated that he felt it would make sense to wait until appointments are made with other agencies. He felt that the Board could wait until the first meeting in February to be an organizational meeting. Chair Manning stated that the terminology in the Bylaws is interchangeable and thought it to be appropriate to have a yearly change of the chair position. Chair Manning stated that she felt that Article 4 (Officers) last sentence which states: The new Chair's one year term shall commence at the first meeting of the new calendar year. should read at the first meeting in February of the calendar year. Commissioner Hunt questioned whether the Vice-Chair Elect of the current year will become the Chair-Elect the next year. Commissioner Hunt stated he would prefer to see a Chair-Elect and Vice Chair both elected at the first meeting in February. A motion was made by Bill Scheiderich and seconded by Paul Hunt that clarified that the Chair-Elect and Vice-Chair -will both be elected at the first meeting in February. This year, IWB BOARD MEETING MINUTES - DECEMBER 14, 1994 PAGE 2 since Mr. Scheiderich is already the Chair-Elect, he will assume the role of Chair. This motion passed unanimously. Mr. Wegner questioned whether there would be any other changes in the Bylaws. Chair Manning questioned whether it should remain that the Board will meet twice a month or should it be changed to state that the Board will meet once a month and have the option of calling a special meeting if needed (Section 5)? The other Board members agreed. Mr. Wegner stated that the Bylaws do not state how often the Board will meet, but is currently printed on the utility billings. It was agreed that on the billings it would be changed to ref lect the once a month meetings. Chair Manning wanted to thank Kathy Kaatz for doing an excellent job in meetings transcription. Commissioner Hunt moved that the Bylaws be accepted as amended and was seconded by Commissioner Morgan. A voice vote was taken and passed unanimously. Mr. Wegner stated that the Bylaws would be reprinted and distributed. 5. DIRECTOR'.S REPORT a. Review MSA Contract Mr. Wegner discussed Mr. Morgan's request at the last meeting of the Tigard Water District Board to provide a list of detail of the Murray Smith Contract that the City had approved. Mr. Wegner distributed with the packet the pages that were relevant to the following: Scope of work Development of a long term water supply Preparation of documentation Working on Portland Contract Working with Mike Miller on interim supply with TVWD Determining specific areas of system to improve Mr. Morgan had also questioned the fees and Mr. Wegner explained that the Contract involved two sets of fees; fixed costs which run $23,400 and Special Services Contract at time and materials. This Contract is a five year contract that runs through 1998 with the estimated worth being approximately $50,000. This works out to be approximately $12,000 a year to offer engineering services. Mr. Wegner stated that Chris Uber, an associate with the firm is the contact person with Murray Smith and Associates. Hal Murray has been very helpful with the negotiations with Lake IWB BOARD MEETING MINUTES - DECEMBER 14, 1994 PAGE 3 Oswego since he has been on the ground floor with South Fork Water Agency and the Joint Water Commission. Phil Smith will be involved when we go to Salem to discuss water rights. Mr. Wegner stated that he had also included in the packet for the Commissioners, a copy of the memo from Chris Uber to Ed Wegner, a progress report on the work that has been authorized. Mr. Wegner stated that Commissioner Morgan had also questioned why we were using the firm of Murray Smith? Mr. Wegner stated that the staff and the Council as well as the IWB members were happy with the results of the work completed by Murray Smith in the long range supply plan. Since their firm had been involved with the plan it seemed only logical to have a contract with them to implement these plans. Commissioner Morgan stated that he felt that MSA had done an outstanding job on presentations, exhibits and written materials. Mr. Morgan stated that he has been reminded recently that with the number of things underway currently (long term supply, interim supply, capital improvement, as well as other projects) we have some definition regarding their contract. He stated that this multi-year agreement does provide for continuity, as some of these projects will not be resolved quickly. Mr. Wegner stated this Contract does not include such things as, construction of a new reservoir, but does involve the day to day operations and getting us through the long term water supply. When we get involved with some of the capital improvement projects we will be soliciting proposals. Commissioner Scheiderich questioned whether the Board was satisfied that there is no in-house (City of Tigard staff) to accomplish some of this work? Mr. Wegner stated that we do not have the capability of in-house staff to accomplish these projects. Mr. Scheiderich also questioned if there were milestones or timelines in the Contract with MSA to accomplish these projects. Mr. Wegner stated that on. some of the projects outlined there are _timelines. Finally, Mr. Scheiderich questioned the status of the City of Lake Oswego's contractual intent? Mr. Wegner stated that this will be discussed in the Executive Session. Chair Manning stated that she. felt comfortable that Murray Smith and Associates are performing in a manner to benefit all. Mr. Wegner stated that this was provided for informational purposes and to keep the Board Members up to date on what the City Council did within the guidelines of the IGA is to provide engineering for the operations of the water system. IWB BOARD MEETING MINUTES - DECEMBER 14, 1994 PAGE 4 b. Six Month Plan of Action Mr. Wegner stated there needs to be a checklist to ensure that items are being accomplished according to the IGA. Mr. Wegner provided the Board with a copy of the Six Month Action Plan with the exception of the meetings with Lake Oswego for the interim supply since these meetings change frequently. This plan attempts to outline the concept that the Staff will bring up ideas and propose those to the IWB for discussion and the IWB members will take those items back to their respective agencies and get input and come back to the IWB meeting with a recommendation and that will be presented to the City of Tigard for action on such items as capital improvement, rate studies, and other items outlined in the IGA. Mr. Wegner discussed three areas that are a concern to all of us; Revised Rules and Regulations, Interim Water Supply and withdrawal from the Tualatin Valley Water District. After outlining the schedule, there is time allowed for discussion at the IWB, time to take back to respective agencies, and bring recommendation to the next IWB meeting and then forward to Council for approval. This plan of action shows several items that are key to the Board members. Some of the target dates are very realistic and some are very ambitious. Commissioner Manning questioned whether there was any priority indication on this plan? Mr. Wegner stated that all three items listed on this plan of action are a priority and have at least one staff member assigned to. Chair Manning questioned the notation for December 13th. on emergency water for the City of Beaverton and what the relationship with the IWB was? Mr. Miller stated that this deals with the twenty-five year contract with the City of Portland. The City of Beaverton does not have a contract and have asked for water from the City of Portland and the City of Portland has called a meeting with all the purveyors surrounding the City of Beaverton (Tualatin Valley, West Slope, Raleigh, Tigard and City of Tualatin) to look at different ways in an emergency situation to be the first response. Commissioner Scheiderich stated that the City of Beaverton is looking for someone to look for strictly in an emergency situation. Mr. Volk discussed that in 1992 during the restrictions, the City of Beaverton was not under restrictions and Portland was, the City of Beaverton had a situation which required emergency assistance and were given water by Portland and there were unhappy feelings among other purveyors. IWB BOARD MEETING MINUTES - DECEMBER 14, 1994 PAGE 5 Mr. Wegner also distributed to the Board a meeting schedule for 1995. Mr. Wegner stated that this schedule reflects the IWB meeting which is the second Wednesday of each month and the TWD meeting on the fourth Monday of each month. This schedule also lists the schedule of other meetings of interest. The Board discussed briefly continuing to meet on the second Wednesday of each month and it was decided they would continue. Mr. Wegner also stated that at the last meeting of the Tigard Water District it was agreed that they would change their current meeting date (first Monday of each month) to the fourth Monday of each month to accommodate the new schedules. There was discussion by the members of the Board that since Commissioner Scheiderich would be unavailable on the second Wednesday in February (2-8) should the meeting be rescheduled at this time? It was decided that this would be placed on the January meeting agenda. Mr. Wegner also distributed the monthly reports for September and October which were revised and the monthly report for November. Also distributed was a booklet from the Willamette River Pilot Program which was distributed at a meeting held by the Tualatin Valley Water District included inside this booklet was an executive summary from the consulting firm of Montgomery Watson made to Tualatin Valley. Mr. Wegner discussed the outcome of this meeting being that the Tualatin Valley Board and staff asked that interested parties that want to look at the Willamette as a possible water source identify themselves and will meet in the near future and begin discussion on the direction to be taken. The Tigard Water District at their last meeting passed a motion to encourage the Tigard City Council to be a participant in these meetings. Mr. Wegner stated that there will be an elected official as well as a staff member attending these meetings. Commissioner Scheiderich questioned if anyone has considered who would pay for the master meter which are extremely expensive. He further stated that one of the improvements to TVWD service area is to enlarge the 10" master meter to 16"? Mr. Wegner stated that Mike Miller is working on the interim plan and Murray Smith will also be working on who would pay for what. Mr. Wegner stated the importance of establishing this tie with Tualatin Valley Water District and reduce our costs to the City of Portland. Mike Miller stated that at the end of November Hal Murray, Chris Uber and himself had met with Tualatin Valley Water District to discuss different locations of possible interties, the three most logical places being: IWB BOARD MEETING MINUTES - DECEMBER 14, 1994 PAGE 6 Baylor Street Reservoir (I-5 and Baylor Street) Bradley Corner Connection (Olson, Hall & Greenburg) Cascade Ave (under railroad tracks, separated by a gate valve - unmetered) Mr. Miller stated that Gene Siebel has stated publicly that they are able to give 6 mgd. We are currently looking at the feasibility of that amount as well as Tualatin Valley has also contracted with CH2MHill who has done modeling of the Metzger system back in the 801s. At the Baylor Street location we are looking at connecting our 12" with their 12" line putting master meter and control vault in and possible bringing in 2-3 mgd dependent upon flows. The 24" connection at Bradley Corner from Washington County Supply line is 16 feet ahead of our current system. Determination would have to be made whether a pump station would be necessary in that area. The smallest connection is at Cascade Avenue with a 811 line and in a twenty-four hour period can maybe produce 1 mgd. All of these will require metering, new meter connections, but the interties will strengthen us now and in the future when withdrawal from Tualatin Valley Water District we will have a supply line to provide service to them. Tualatin Valley has already targeted changing out the meter at Forest Lane, to eliminate some restrictions that they have, but not necessarily for a few years so this may involve some cost sharing. Commissioner Hunt questioned whether these were all a part of the capital expenditure budget now? Mr. Miller stated they are not. Mr. Wegner stated that during budget talks last year, it was decided that we would wait until we had such figures. Commissioner Scheiderich questioned the chemical imbalances in bringing Tualatin Valley Water into our system? Mr. Miller stated there is the possibility_ since their water is chlormination water but would not be any worst that we have currently experienced with Bull Run coming directly into the system. Mr. Miller stated that it is Tualatin Valleys commitment is to fast track this and work on the IGA's and getting some preliminary reports on hydraulics analysis that CH2MHill will be providing. 6. NON AGENDA ITEI4S Commissioner Scheiderich questioned what the budget timelines would be for the Tigard Water District? Mr. Wegner stated that would be the March meeting. His budget will be submitted to the City Manager which will include the Tigard Water District's budget by February 17-20. Will then bring back to the Board for discussion before going to Council. IWB BOARD MEETING MINUTES - DECEMBER 14, 1994 PAGE 7 Discussed agenda items for the next meeting and Chair Manning stated that listed on the schedule submitted by Mr. Wegner are items for discussion for the January 11th. meeting. Commissioner Morgan stated that he felt it would be helpful to the Board if there would be a six month report in regards to revenue, expenditures, capital projects, etc. Mr. Wegner stated that he would be providing this around the 15-20th of February. Chair Manning called the Intergovernmental Water Board into Executive Session under the provisions of ORS 192.660, (1) (e) to discuss real property. Mr. Polans questioned before leaving, the at large position, and whether Bill Scheiderich was an engineer? Chair Manning stated that he was an attorney for the City of Beaverton. Mr. Polans also questioned whether Mayor Jenkins is still on the Intergovernmental Water Board? Chair Manning stated that she is. Mr. Polans questioned whether she had been excused from the meeting? Chair Manning stated that not to her knowledge had she been excused. Commissioner Scheiderich questioned whether there was something in the bylaws that addressed absences? Mr. Wegner stated that there was nothing in the bylaws with Commissioner Scheiderich stated should be looked at the January meeting. EXECUTIVE SESSION The members of the Intergovernmental Water Board went into Executive Session at 6:45 p.m. and reconvene the regular session of the Intergovernmental Water Board meeting at 7:10 p.m. 7. ADJOURNMENT With no votes or consensus taken at the Executive Session, Commissioner Hunt motioned for adjournment which passed unanimously at 7:15 p.m. kaft\M\iwb12-14.mt9 IWB BOARD MEETING MINUTES - DECEMBER 14, 1994 PAGE 8 I( i MEMORANDUM DATE: January 4, 1995 To: Mr. Ed Wegner, Maintenance Services Director FROM: .E., Murray, Smith & Associates, Inc. RE: Status of Interim Water Supply Discussions Between Tigard and the Tualatin Valley Water District (TVWD). Three meetings have been held to formally discuss Tigard's interim water supply needs from TVWD. The following is a summary of these discussions to date. 1. Interim water supply goal - 5 to 6 million gallons per day (mgd) on a peak day. 2. Connection locations with goal quantities indicated: A. Baylor Tank - 2 mgd (peak day) _ B. Cascade - 1 mgd 5hfid y I It C. - 2 mgd 3. A hydraulic analysis is to be completed by TVWD to determine amounts of water available at the locations listed above. Sharing in the cost of the analysis is to be discussed once this cost is known. 4. Ownership of connections - Tigard will fund construction of connection improvements and will own the facilities constructed. 5. Schedule - Improvements should be on line for the summer time peak usage. No later than June 1995. 6. Cost of water - Currently under review by TVWD. The goal of the next meeting is to develop an outline of an intergovernmental agreement for Tigard's purchase of water from the TVWD, to review the status of the analysis effort, and to discuss the implementation of the supply. Inter0f ice Memo To: Ed Wegner From: Michael Miller Date: January 4, 1995 Subject: Meeting with Tualatin Valley Water District On Monday, December 19, 1994, I met with Jesse Lowman of Tualatin Valley Water District (TVWD) and Chris Uber of Murray Smith & Associates (MSA) to follow-up on our prior discussions regarding potential summer water supply connections and availability from TVWD. Again the three possible intertie locations are: • Baylor Street Reservoir Site • SW Cascade Avenue • Bradley Corner(SW Hall Blvd. and SW Greenburg Road) C112M Hill, TVWD's consultant, will be performing some basic hydraulic modeling of TVWD's distribution system in the old Metzger Water District service area. With this information, TVWD and C112M Hill, will be able to determine the amount of surplus water available to the Tigard Water Service Area at the above locations. The current revised amount of water that may be available from TVWD is now estimated between 4.0 to 5.0 million gallons per day(MGD). Probably the best location, and the one that has the greatest potential of providing approximately 2.0 MGD at the least cost, is the Baylor Reservoir site. Currently we are waiting for confirmation from C112M Dill on the availability and quantity of water at this location. As we were examining the SW Cascade Avenue intertie, we also investigated other possible connections along SW Greenburg Road. TVWD recently completed the installation of a 16-inch Ductile Iron water main from SW Greenburg Road, south along SW 90th Avenue to SW Oak Street. At SW Oak Street the 16-inch water main is reduced to a 12-inch line size which crosses Highway 217 at SW 95th Avenue and connects into SW Shady Lane. TVWD's 12-inch water main travels west along SW Shady Lane and continues south along SW Greenburg Road. If excess water, in large quantities, is available within this water main, we should highly consider a connection to this main instead of making a connection with TVWD's 24-inch main at Bradley Corner. The Bradley Corner connection was discussed in general terms, but it is TVWD's opinion that a connection at this location is cost prohibitive. Their opinion is based on the size of the intersection, the amount of traffic that travels the roads, the depth of the asphalt, and the amount of improvements. It was agreed that other locations along SW Greenburg Road should be implemented first and that the Bradley Corner connection should be held in reserve. Meeting with.Tualatin Valley Water District 01/04/95 Page 2 We also started the talks about developing an outline for an Intergovernmental Agreement. Some of the items that should be considered within the IGA are: • Purpose • Definitions • Points of connections • Water flow rates • Water costs • Timing • Communication between Portland, TVWD, and Tigard • Length of contract, five years with a automatic five year renewal and a means for dissolution of the contract. As a side note, at the end of the meeting there was a small discussion by Jesse Lowman regarding the water rights that TVWD has on the Willamette River. He indicated that there are 150 million gallons per day senior water rights on the Willamette River which were filed by TVWD for all of Washington County. It is TVWD's proposal that if a Water Authority is established, the Water Authority would own the water rights and water treatment plant. Individual ownership by the Cities and Districts involved would be based on usage. Our next meeting with TVWD will be held on January 4, 1995. CC: John Acker,Randy Volk December 20, 1994 Since the last meeting of the Participants Committee on November 22, 1994 the Project Management Staff have been involved in the following activities: 1) Staff met with Metro staff to discuss the Metro water plan work program, to obtain copies of provider boundaries for the water demand forecasts, and to review the assumptions of the Metro population forecasts for the low and high estimates. 2) Staff prepared testimony for the Lower Columbia River Rules hearing by the Water Resources Department. A draft was circulated to all of the participants,comments were received, and changes made. The testimony was delivered on November 30. 3) Staff have reviewed and provided comments to the consultants on the transmission assumptions memorandum and have worked with the consultant team on the ranking process for the evaluation criteria. 4) The water quality matrix for the sources has been prepared and is ready for distribution. This was prepared with the assistance of the Joint Water Commission, the Clackamas Water District, and Lake Oswego as well as those entities and consultants who worked on the pilot treatment work for the Willamette and Columbia Rivers. 5) Staff prepared for mailing the water demand forecast disks to be sent to each of the provider participants. 6) Staff have continued to review and provide comments and suggested changes to the evaluation criteria, including methodologies for how rank between source related and representative site specific criteria. Staff met with the consultant project manager to discuss how uncertainties can be incorporated into the integration element of the project. 7) Staff attended the TVWD meeting where they presented their pilot treatment study and other work related to developing the Willamette as a source of supply. 8) Staff have coordinated questions and comments on the demand forecast and have forwarded those on to the consultants and to Metro. Staff sent out the disks to all the participant providers in December and have provided translation formats to those entities which requested them. 9) Staff worked with Dale Jutilla and Gene Seibel to make a presentation to the Water Resources Commission on December 15. The presentation included the first use of the slide show which was favorably commented on by the staff and the Commission. 10) Staff met with Greg Nokes of the Oregonian to discuss the RWSP project and the results to date. An article will be forthcoming in the Oregonian. 11) Staff has worked to refine the written testimony on the Lower Columbia Rules to be adopted by the Water Resources Commission and has discussed the issue with ODF&W research people and with an attorney who will be preparing comments for the OWUC. 12) Staff has worked with Metro to continue to refine issues related to the 2040 growth concept particularly oriented towards the population demand forecast and related to the work plan for the water supply element of the Regional Framework Plan. 13) Staff is working with McKeever Morris on the FOCUS-IMS workshops on Integrated Water Resource Management. Information requests have been sent out - by McKeever Morris and staff have met with them to discuss the project.

Its chemical sources. composition is very close to rainfall. ' • • • • 1895-1995 The Bull Run Watershed, 35 miles east of Portland in the Mt. Hood National Forest, supplies water for more than 1/4 of all Oregonians. It drains about 102 square miles of volcanic- derived landscape at elevations between 750 to 4,150 feet above sea level. The average annual runoff at the mouth of the Bull Run River is about 600,000 acre-feet, equivalent to a water depth of 105 inches spread uniformly over the watershed. IDENTIFYING PORTLAND'S WATER SOURCE MTS • . . As early as 1885 the Portland Water Committee recognized the need to develop a new water supply. The wells, river water, and local creeks then supplying the growing city suffered from pollution or offered inadequate supplies to the growing town. When the State Legislature passed a charter amendment in 1885 giving the City bonding authority to finance a water system, the Water Committee sent Colonel Isaac Smith, an engineer, to investigate the Bull Run watershed as a supply option. 'He determined it to be ideal. On June 17, 1892 President Benjamin Harrison proclaimed the Bull Run watershed as a national forest reserve. This provided important protection to the watershed. Within a year, construction began on 24 miles of pipeline from Bull Run to Portland, a mammoth project of brush clearing, ditch digging, and road building. At the same time, the Water Committee oversaw the construction of reservoirs at City (Washington) Park and Mt. Tabor and the expansion of in-city mains and distribution systems. These ambitious public works projects continued through 1894. DEVELOPING BULL RUN AND THE HISTORY OF THE WATER BUREAU Bull Run water flows to Portland on January 2 through Conduit 1 (capacity 26 mgd), which abandoned in 1952. City Charter replaces the Water Committee with a Water Board. . President Theodore Roosevelt signs Public Law 206, the "Trespass Act," restricting access to the Bull Run watershed. Voters approve a $3 million bond issue to build two new pipelines and two new reservoirs. The Initiative 100, a citizen group, declares that the name Bull Run "shocks the sensibilities." They persuade the Water Board to run a contest for a better name. Entries include "Rose River Run" and "Crystal River." An Oregonian editorial urges the group to deal with real problems. The group next works for the merger of Portland and the County of Multnomah. The Free Water Association of 1907 tries to make Portland's water free through a ballot initiative. Costs of delivering water would be covered by raising property taxes. Proponents claim landlords would "know better" than to raise rents. The initiative never makes it to the ballot. Judge Cleland ruled for City Auditor Devlin who argues that the initiative violates technicalities and could not be on the ballot. Conduit 2 from Bull Run increases delivery capacity by 50 mgd. Two new reservoirs at Mt. Tabor store an additional 124 million gallons. The Bull Run Story Simon Benson donates money to install 4-bowl drinking fountains downtown. A survey crew investigates the Bull Run, Little Sandy and Sandy River watersheds to determine how to meet Portland's supply needs through 1950. Charter referendum creates commission government — and the Bureau of Water Works. The fust dam and dike at Bull Run Lake are completed. The Water Bureau curtails repairs and expansion to conserve materials for the war effort. 4/5 of Bureau employees buy war bonds. Ford trucks replace horses at work sites. A flu epidemic forces Bureau offices to close two hours early for many weeks. Conduit 3 increases Portland's daily supply by 75 mgd. �. The Water Bureau completes installing meters on all water services. Dam No. 1 impounds 8.8 billion gallons of water. The design, combining features of arch-type and gravity dams, is a milestone in dam engineering and a precursor to the Hoover Dam. Lift gates added in 1954 increase storage to 9.9 billion gallons. Chlorine is added to water at Headworks. The City has abundant water to sell. However, demand drops due to the Depression. In 1933 thousands of families cannot pay their water bills. Bureau employees become the first City employees to donate six day's pay to laid-off workers. The Bureau postpones system development and water bond sales. Migration to the suburbs spurs wholesale water sales to outlying water districts. Windstorm causes massive blowdown in Bull Run watershed. Water Bureau becomes collecting agency for sewer service charges. The City of Portland Health Laboratory starts testing for bacteria. In response to Pearl Harbor, City Council hires 50 guards to protect the water works system from the threat of foreign invasion. Wartime conservation efforts in the 40s limit system expansion to standpipes and tanks rather than large-scale public works. Conduit 4 is completed. It delivers 100 mgd, but post-war growth in the metropolitan area causes occasional water shortages. Planning begins for Dam No. 2. A Charter initiative to fluoridate water fails. So does a subsequent one in 1962. Voters approve a Charter Amendment to fluoridate water in 1978 but repeal it in 1980. Dam No. 2 in Bull Run impounds 6.8 billion gallons. Reservoir 2 is lowered to remove a diversion pipe after the dam dedication. An algal bloom known as The Big Stink" occurs. The Water Bureau's new Lab at Headworks analyzes water quality. The Christmas Day Flood causes massive damages in Bull Run. Conduits 2 and 4 go out of service. Round-the-clock repair is necessary, but no water shortages occur. The Bull Run Story . , The Bureau and environmental groups study logging in Bull Run. In 1973 only horse logging is permitted near a reservoir -- if the horses wear canvas diapers. This receives national media coverage. In 1974 helicopters haul logs out of roadless areas. In 1976 Judge Burns ruled in Miller v. Mallery that large-scale clearcut logging in the watershed is a violation of the Trespass Act, but that selective logging might not be. In 1974 Congress passes the Safe Drinking Water Act. Public Law 95-200 establishes the "Bull Run Watershed Management Unit" to resolve legal issues and preserve Portland's high-quality water supply. City Council creates the Bull Run Advisory Committee (BRAC) to give technical advice on watershed management. . ; The Water Bureau begins monitoring Giardia. Powell Butte Reservoir adds storage capacity of 50 million gallons. Bull Run dams generate hydroelectric power, supplying 82 million KWH. Christmas Eve windstorm damages trees on 5,800 acres of the Bull Run watershed. Salvage logging of blowdown occurs between 1985 and 1992. The completion of the Washington County Supply Line, funded primarily by Washington County distributors, provides 60 mgd of gravity-fed water to Washington County customers. Phase I of the Columbia South Shore Wellfield is complete. Initial projects of Phase II of the Columbia South Shore wellfield are complete. The wellfield augments supply during a shortage. The Bureau drafts its first Drought Plan. . ; . City Council abolishes the Bull Run Advisory Committee (BRAC) and establishes the Water Quality Advisory Committee (WQAC). WQAC gives citizen input and policy advice on a broad range of water quality issues. . . The Phase 1 Regional Supply Plan looks at water demand, conservation, and source options to meet regional water needs through 2050. . . The Regional Supply Plan Phase 2 assesses the impacts of managing demand and developing supply options. A water shortage prompts curtailment and enhanced conservation education. Water demand drops 34%. The Bureau installs push-buttons on the Benson bubblers. The Lusted Hill Post-Ammoniation Facility ensures compliance with the disinfection requirements in the Surface Water Treatment Rule. City Council's Resolution 35203 calls for legislation to expand the Bull Run unit boundaries and limit timber management activities to protect water quality and assure future supply. The Interstate Operations Building opens with a new water quality lab and automated control center. The Water Bureau receives an Aa credit rating on its first utility revenue bond debt separate from the City. The Bull Run Story . . The Water Bureau serves 754,000 people, more than 1/4 of all Oregonians. Water quality and the preservation of public health remain Bureau priorities. Our current focus is corrosion control, new regulatory developments, public education, source water protection and water quality monitoring. We continue education programs which reduced demand by 10% from pre-1992 consumption: award-winning community conservation outreach, commercial and industrial alternatives to potable water for processing and irrigation, and a showerhead retrofit program. City Council, the Water Bureau and the Forest Service continue monitoring watershed protection. Bureau employees, management and labor, work collaboratively to solve problems and implement efficiencies. The Bureau works with numerous agencies to ensure the supply of water from our wellfields. The Portland Utility Review Board (PURB) provides citizen review to advise Council on utility rate-making and budgeting. E PREPARING FOR THE FUTURE Portland's metropolitan region is growing. Demand for water grows with it. The Water Bureau participates in the Phase 2 Regional Supply Plan with other regional water providers to anticipate and plan for that growth. In the next year we'll invite the community to evaluate scenarios for future metropolitan water supplies. Together we'll decide what the best combination of water supplies might be. Conservation will be an important tool of demand management. Other challenges lie ahead: meeting regulatory requirements, maintaining infrastructure, ensuring efficient operation and equitable rates, and increasing public awareness and involvement in the water management choices and trade-offs facing our community. Much has changed since 1895. New public works require massive studies never dreamed of a century ago. Developing supply or treatment options may be very costly. Much has changed for the good. We are using water resources more wisely. We appreciate the need to protect our watershed and groundwater resources diligently. We have formed partnerships with the public, regional suppliers and other stakeholders to maximize public involvement in how we do business and what services we offer. The Water Bureau's approach to the future's challenges is rooted in the legacy of its past: stewardship of our resources, preserving public health, supplying current and future generations, and responding to community needs with efficient and effective service.
