Water Conservation & Management Plan

The WCMP was prepared in conformance with Oregon Water Resources Department standards. The plan described the potable water service area, population projections for it, reviewed the current water supply, listed all City controlled water rights, and the adequacy/reliability of the water supply. Average and peak usage was reviewed and future usage was projected .In particular the effect of current industrial users was studied. A water conservation plan was established which included four stages of restrictions depending on the severity of the water shortage. The water treatment plant was reviewed for capacity and treatment efficiencies and an intertie with adjacent community was investigated. Finally an estimate of construction cost for the intertie was prepared.
