POST Thur» D « * 1171 (Sec 2) arou county For Hoodland area Local council by JAN ELD R ED G E Post correspondent stating its activities and asking for community response in the form of a questionaire There has been very little response. “ So fa r, w e’ve been keeping just barely above the debts w e’ve Incurred. However, in order to keep the water on and to show all the parties involved that we are actively seeking a solution, a lot more money is needed,” said Ledford. The council has spent its funds on legal expenses and on preliminary studies to investigate the necessary work to bring the affected systems up to date. According to Ledford, there are two different alternatives for the com munity to consider in form ing a new water system The first, backed by the LH-WC, is the formation of a County Service District. This would mean that Clackamas County would take over all or some of the systems owned by Alder Creek Water Co. The county would bring the systems up to code and provide safe drinking water, taking on all the respon sibility of maintenance and adm inistration of the systems The cost of this system is, as of yet, in certain. However, residents There is an old song, “ You don’t miss your water till the well n n s dry,” which codd very well be the theme at citizens living under the jurisdiction of the Alder Creek Water Co. In the beginning of October, the water in the Alder Creek- Barlow section was shut off, which spurred 158 residents to sign a petition to form a County' Service District. The Lower Hoodland W ater Council became established and recognized by the courts, a first for the residents of Alder Creek There are five districts in cluded in the Alder Creek Water Co., Alder Creek- Barlow, Riverside, Country’ Club, Wildwood annex and Sleepy Hollow Whit Ledford, chairman of the LHWC, said that the primary goals of the council are twofold. The first goal is trying to prevent residents from going without water. The second goal is working with different governmental agencies; Red Bennett, who is the owner of the Alder Creek Water Co., and area residents to find workable and affordable solutions to the water problems. The m ain obstacle in reaching those goals has been a lack of oomminity support “When the water was The Community Band, turned back on, the interest under the sponsorship of Mt. died.

The council has sent out N e a rly 50 community two newsletters to date. members make up the band better water would not be expected to pay one large sum, but could continue to pay for their w ater in monthly in stallments. Since the formation of the IJfWC, there have been two hearings by the Clackamas Circuit C oirt, presided by Judge Dale Jacobs. The first hearing, on Oct. 10, extended the closure date for the Alder Creek-Bar low system until Nov. 1. On Nov. 20, the closure date was again ex tended until March 26, 1980. Also, on Oct. 19, Bennett went to federal court for violating the P ire Water Act, initiated by the Federal Environmental Protection Agency, on all five of the districts he owns So far, Bennett has only succeeded in getting delays (on court orders). The council neither supports or rejects Bennett In the past, he’s been unw illing to cooperate, now he faces a strong probability of losing all five districts,” said Ledford. It has been through the efforts of the community and the LHWC that the water is still running in Alder Creek. Bennett must now comply with court injunctions or dering him to monitor and test the water going through his systems, Ledford said According to I^dford, if the water flow is now stopped for any reason, there are a number of options recognized by the courts to get it turned back on. However, this is possible only through continued community support and the efforts of the council. On Dec. 20, there will be a hearing by the Clackamas County Board of Com missioners at 10 a.m. in the County Courthouse at Oregon City. It will be deciding whether to form a Cointy Service District for the water needs of the people served by Alder Creek Water Co. The LHW C w ill be publishing more newsletters to keep the community in formed, Ledford said. The address of the council is 55425 E. Kirkwood Drive, Sandy, Ore., 97055. It also may be contacted through Kylie Black, acting vice-chairman, at 622-3915 or Ben Pomeroy, secretary-treasurer at 622- 3728.
