Title

Water Service Boundary Adjustment Interlocal Agreement with City of Vancouver

Details:  The Columbia Palisades Master Plan is located in the City of Vancouver adjacent to the Camas city limits northwest of the 192nd Avenue and Brady Road intersection and has been in discussions for many years. The City of Vancouver ultimately approved the Columbia Palisades Master Plan in 2016, and the developer is currently designing the first phases of the project to move towards construction. Through the years, the developer and the City of Vancouver approached City of Camas staff in regards to supplying water to the upper elevations of the project along Streets C, D and E in the attached Columbia Palisades Master Plan as the Vancouver water system does not have high enough pressure in this area to fully serve the project. According to the Master Plan, the area in question is proposed to contain approximately 75 single-family homes and the potential for a 5-story multi-family apartment building. The City of Camas water system has adequate pressures and could be expanded to provide service to the project; however, depending on timing of development additional water sources may need to be constructed to serve this area in addition to new development within the City. In order to provide permanent water service to areas of the Master Plan, the City's Water Service Boundary must be modified, which can be accomplished through execution of the attached interlocal agreement with the City of Vancouver. Staff provided a summary of the attached interlocal agreement at the September 5, 2017 Council Workshop. 

Presenter:  Steve Wall, Public Works Director
