The Board recessed from 6 13 - 6 18 p.m.
5 Existing Long Term Capital Improvement Program
Michael Miller, Water Management Analyst, reviewed for the Board, the current 5 year Capital
Improvement Plan. He outlined the comprehensive plan developed to meet the water demands
of the service area. He briefly discussed the objective of SDCs (System Development Charges)
stating the income for SDCs comes from water meter installations. Approximately 60% of the
water meter sales revenue is directed to the SDC Fund and the remaining 40% is deposited into
the Water General Fund.
• Bill Scheiderich questioned Mike Miller about the amount charged for SDCs and how it
compares to neighboring communities.
Mike Miller responded that this should be re-examined within a year or two
• George Morgan asked why there is a 60/40 split of the SDC revenue and whether or not
an update is envisioned as the cost of business and installations increase
Mike Miller responded that the SDC methodology hasn't been changed since 1991 and this
too is an area in need of future review
The Board continued to discuss with Mike Miller the area currently being served by the water
department and its future needs as the area develops.
• Peggy Manning asked what other cities Lake Oswego provides water to
Mike Miller responded that the City of Tigard is Lake Oswego's main customer, however
also serves the Cities of Lake Grove, Rivergrove, portions of Portland and Tualatin.
• George Morgan asked how the water department visualizes having the flexibility of meeting
demands in light of the budget process, the need to establish rates and fees that might be
applicable for new demands, and with the uncertainty of the capital improvement demands
that might be modified referring to the presentation by Murray, Smith and Associates, Inc.
and their inability to meet the time schedule
• Ed Wegner responded that when the Water Supply Study Update by Murray, Smith and
Associates, Inc. is completed, the CIP will again be examined and updated to meet the
necessary changes to reflect the recommendations for capital improvements for water source
needs. Mike Miller explained that the CIP has been updated and altered to some degree
every year since 1990 to better serve the changing needs of the service area.
INTERGOVERNMENTAL WATER BOARD MEETING MINUTES - March 23, 1994 - Page 2
Chair Manning thanked Mike Miller for staff report and helping the Board better understand the long
term capital improvement plan.
6. Update on Levying Debt Service
Ed Wegner reported the City Attorney and City of Tigard Finance Director, Wayne Lowry is
working with the Department of Revenue and there is no news as of this date The Board will be
notified of the Department of Revenue's findings as soon as they are available.
7 Non-Agenda Items
Ed Wegner reported to the Board that the Tigard City Council approved at the March 22 meeting,
the consolidation of billing for City of Tigard water and sewer customers effective July 1, 1994
Ed Wegner also reported that at the March 22nd, Tigard City Council Meeting, Patrick Reilly, City
Administrator, requested and Council agreed to a 90 day extension for the completion of the Water
Supply Plan Update by Murray, Smith and Associates, Inc. The Council authorized the City
Administrator to request of the City's water partners (King City, Durham, and Tigard Water
District) an extension of the June 30, 1994 deadline for an updated capital improvement program.
The new deadline, if approved, will be September 30, 1994
Bill Scheiderich requested a map identifying future improvements be made available for the Board
and Director Wegner indicated one would be done.
George Morgan brought up for discussion the delay of the completion of the Water Supply Plan
Update George Morgan suggested that this Board sponsor an organized presentation for public
awareness. After a brief discussion, the Board decided it was a good idea and perhaps it could be
done after the completion of the study by Murray, Smith and Associates, Inc. Another idea was
discussed regarding a press release and article in the Tigard Times inviting the public to the next
presentation/update by Murray, Smith and Associates, Inc.
8. Adjournment
Lynda Jenkins motioned to adjourn the meeting and John Schwartz seconded the motion. The
meeting adjourned at 8.15 p.m.

InterOffice Memo
To Patrick J Reilly, City Administrator
From Michael Mill4uer Management Analyst
Date: April 7, 1994
Subject: Summer Water Management and Portland Peaking
Over the course of three years, the Water Division has changed how it manages its water
supplies. We have gone from "floating" the system to taking calculated risks in managing
our summer supply in order to reduce our cost of purchasing water
Floating the system is a term in the water industry that means we keep a set level, usually
at the normal operating level, of water in our storage facilities. We did this by monitoring
our system with a rudimentary telemetry system. When the reservoir levels would begin
to fall, this would indicate to us that the amount of water being supplied was being
outstripped by the demand. What we used to do was simply turn on another pump, or
pumps, to bring in more water from: the city 'of Lake Oswego until the reservoirs
equalized. Equalized means the supply coming into the system neither increases nor
decreases the reservoir level.
If the reservoir levels continued to drop, and Lake Oswego did not have enough surplus
water, we would simply turn on the switch for Portland's Bull Run water By operating
the system in this fashion, we would meet the demand and eventually surpass it to fill the
reservoirs for the following day But as we have learned, this is a very costly way to
manage our water supply needs. In a very short time we went from purchasing Portland
water at $0 95 per 100 cubic feet (ccf) in the 1990-91 fiscal year to $3.23 per ccf in the
1992-93 fiscal year This was because we were "peaking" off the Portland system, we
were only taking Bull Run water at high demand periods.
Let's look at what peaking is and how it relates to our rates from Portland. When we say
that we are peaking, what we really mean is that the water usage in our distribution
system has surpassed its average demand and we draw upon our suppliers, especially
Portland, to satisfy the total demand of the system. In these high demand periods, we are
basically utilizing the Bull Run Supply System (BRSS) as a giant reservoir to keep our
system full. The city of Portland realizing that the BRSS cannot support the entire region
during these high demand periods, has developed a strategy to force the other users of
their system, by means of economic incentives, to utilize their own reservoir capacities to
sustain the peak demand. In other words, if a water system wants to peak off the BRSS,
they can, but they will pay a premium for that water When a water system manages its
resources correctly, their cost to purchase Bull Run water will be less than that of a water
system that "floats" its system.
The city of Portland has established some general guidelines for when peak days and
peak hours of usage occur on the BRSS
Summer Water Management and Portland Peaking 04/07/94 Page 2
• Peak day and hour usage for the Portland system can start as early as May and end as
late as October
• There must be three days of no rain before a peak day can occur
• The temperature is above 85 degrees F and has been above 80 degrees F the previous
three days
• The amount of water through the headwork's is 200 million gallons.
• Peak hours only occur on peak days from 3 to 9 p.m.
• There are no peak days on the weekend.
It is important to note that these are dust the guidelines for when it is possible for a peak
day to occur within the BRSS The city of Portland has made it a policy of not informing
the wholesale customers of whether or not a particular day is a peak day It is up to the
individual wholesaler to make the judgment call if a peak day has occurred.
As I stated above, peaking is when the water usage in the distribution system has
surpassed the average demand. Portland calculates our average demand from the amount
of water that we have purchased from them during the last fiscal year For illustrative
purposes let's say that the annual usage of Bull Run water within our system equaled
365.,000 ccf This amount is divided by the number of days in the year, in this case 365
The result is that the average daily demand is equal to 1,000 ccf. The 1,000 ccf is the
maximum amount of water that we can purchase from Portland on a peak day If we were
to purchase 2,000 ccf on a peak day, this would give us a peaking factor of 2 0 What this
could possibly do is double our rates from Portland for the next fiscal year
The city of Portland has also established peak hours on peak days from 3 to 9 p.m. Using
the same scenario of 1,000 ccf for the average daily demand, we divide the 1,000 ccf by
24 to get an average hourly demand of 4167 ccf. At no time do we want to surpass this
average during the peak hour period.
The Water Division has experienced.the negative impact of floating our system during the
summer months and the positive benefit of utilizing our reservoir storage capacity,
reducing our rate to $0 55 per ccf from Portland for the 1994-95 fiscal year The key to
reducing our rate was being able to avoid purchasing water from Portland during the
summer and getting our peaking factor to 10
The way we accomplished this was being able to utilize the 10 million gallon (mg)
terminal reservoir and its transfer pump station to supply the High Tor reservoirs at the
summit of Bull Mountain. This enabled us to isolate the High Tor system from the main
operating level, our 410 pressure zone (410 feet above sea level), during the summer By
utilizing the 10 mg terminal reservoir in this fashion and using our reservoir storage
capacity in the 410 pressure zone to supplement the supply from Lake Oswego, we were
able to sustain our demand.
Managing our system in this way, working the reservoirs, we did allow the 410 pressure
zone to fall below the normal storage level, but in no way to a level that would threaten
our fire fighting reserve capacity When the weather broke and Lake Oswego could
Summer Water Management and Portland Peaking 04/07/94 Page 3
supply more water than the demand on the system, we would start filling the reservoirs to
maximum capacity
Since operating the water distribution system in this fashion is of a critical nature, we
need to be able to analyze what is going on in the system at all times. With the purchase
ofthe Supervisory Control and Data Acquisition (SCADA) system we have the ability to
gather, control and analyze the data (reservoir levels, transfer pump flows, incoming
supply flows, etc ) in such a way that we can better improve upon the way we control our
water system.
.Although the purchase and installation of all phases of the SCADA system is not 100%
complete, right now it does give us important information on how the 410 pressure zone
is performing and the ability to utilize the 10 mg terminal reservoir to the fullest extent as
possible When the SCADA system is completed not only will we be able to monitor
what is happening in the distribution system, but we will have the ability to set
parameters on when and how much water we will purchase from Portland. Currently the
only control we have on supply from Portland is the ability to either turn the valve on or
off. We do not have the capability of easily controlling the volume or gallons per minute,
that we receive from Portland. The ability to control the supply from Portland is
essential, in that the way we take water from Portland determines the following year's
rate
