At the Irrigon City Council
meeting Tuesday a water rate
schedule for use above lou.oou
gallons was presented and
endorsed for presentation to
the Farmers Home Adminis
tration for approval.
The present schedule pro
vides a basic charge of $5.95
for a 3.000 gallon minimun, 25
cents per 1. 000 for the next
7.000 gallons and 20 cents per
l.ooo for the 90,oou.
The continuing graduated
schedule would charge 15
cents per 1.000 for the second
lOo.ooo gallons. 10 cents per
1.000 for the third 100,000 and 5
cents for all above 300,000
gallons.
A special council meeting
was announced for Tuesday,
Aug. 21, when Val Toronto,
city engineer, and representa
tive from Farmers Home
Administration will meet to
discuss proposals for upgrad
ing and expansion of the water
system. When it is determined
what the needs are, proposals
for their financing will be
brought before the people in a
bond election.
Consideration will be in
cluded for water storage and
pumping facilities for the first
part of the proposed housing
project, which includes 53
houses and a 60-unit apart
ment building. One public
meeting on the proposed
expansion has been held. The
public is invited to attend all
council meetings.
The council approved a
package beer license renewal
application for the Complete
Food Store, owned and oper
ated by Lavern and Marge
Christiansen. A similar li
cense application covering
draught beer on the premises
was not endorsed for Gerald
and Rita Clark for the new
business under construction.
In refusing the endorsement,
councilmen said the reason is
the absence of law enforce
ment personnel in the area
and the closeness of resi
dences to the business. Sever
al townspeople were present
in Kuppo'at of the endorsement
of the application.
A letter was read concern
ing water use at the St.
Patricks Catholic Church,
with request for consideration
of reducing the rale because of
the amount of water used for
sprinkling. Mayor Chester
Wilson suggested a formula
which would reduce the billing
to about 50 per cent. The
Council in refusing to grant a
special rate expressed the
view that It would lend to
encourage the use of more
water instead of conserving
water on a system designed
for domestic use only. Be
cause of a shortage of irriga
tion water this season there
has been a heavy demand on
the system for sprinkling,
resulting in periods of low
water pressure in July. Wilson
stated that over a million gal.
of water was metered to the 60
current users.
A letter from the State
Board of Health was referred
to, which urged all community
water supply to take immedi
ate conservation measures.
