What is a Water Master Plan?
The Water Master Plan evaluates the City’s existing water system infrastructure, identifies deficiencies or needs under current or future demand, and provides recommendations on system improvements. The Water Master Plan is included in the City’s comprehensive Capital Improvement Program (CIP) to help plan for future growth. The Water Master Plan is prepared to comply with Oregon Administrative Rule (OAR) 333-061-0060(5) and is subject to review by the Oregon Health Authority.
