which would be presented and discussed.
Mr. Marchus reported on the status of regulations
related to enforcement of the Clean Water Act.
Mr. Lynard reported on the water characterization
research which has been underway.
Mr. Holt reviewed the computer model of the
distribution system and specifically noted the failure of
the model to predict fire flows and pressures in the
system.
Mr. Sundby then discussed design parameters based upon
historical and 1992 flow data, the expansion of the system
service area to various areas, and the need for irrigation
management.
Mr. Orton then asked for policy direction from the
council on various matters.
On the matter of service to the Carrico-Brightwater
area, representatives of the Payette Lakes Water and Sewer
District reported on their research to attempt to supply
water to the persons within the District Boundaries. They
indicated that this area is one that the extension of city
water service seems most cost effective and invited the
city to provide that service. Following the discussion,
VanKomen moved to include the Carrico-Brightwater area in
the city water system planning provided that, areas were
annexed before receiving water service and that all costs
of providing the service be borne by the residents,
presumably through the LID process. The motion was
clarified that the LID may also be imposed to bring streets
to city standards and to accomplish other public
improvements required by the city's standards. Larson
seconded the motion and on a voice vote the motion carried
unanimously.
On the matter of metering the water system to provide
for improved system management, VanKomen moved to add
metering of the system to the planning effort and direct
the engineers to develop new standards for such
installations immediately. Larson seconded and on a voice
vote, the motion carried unanimously.
On the matter of reconfiguring the components and
relocating these elements, Wallace moved to approve the
reconfiguration of the system as recommended which would
constitute the 1992 Water System Master Plan Update.
LeBrett seconded the motion. On a voice vote, the motion
carried.
Mr. Orton advised that with the direction provided in
these actions, cost estimates could be provided within a

Additional work orders will be forthcoming as the
work authorized to date is nearly complete.
