City Council
The Heppner City Council
agreed Monday night to pro
vide water to a lot outside the
city limits near the new Wil
low Creek Road. The lot is
owned by Larry Angell, who
plans to sell it for a housing
site.
The council discussed the
request for sometime, review
ing the possible future de
velopment of the area and
other services the city may be
asked to provide there.
The property is located on
cemetery hill adjacent to the
new Willow Creek Road,
which was built as part of the
Willow Creek Dam project.
The council was reluctant to
provide water, not only be
cause the property was out
side the city limits, but also
because it has not been subdi
vided. "People should check with
us (the city) before they go
and spend money on some
thing like this." said Mayor
Cliff Green (A house has
apparently been moved onto
the site).
The council said providing
water would be contingent on
the site being approved by the
planning commission.

He stressed that the "dam is
still an effective flood barrier
. . and will protect the city of
Heppner."

The council also moved not
to provide water to any more
homes outside the city limits

practice is drawn up and
