To All COLA LO Members,
The Review has published an article showing a serious oversight in the planning process for the new LO-Tigard Water Agreement project. It appears the city did not review limitations on expansions within the neighborhood of the plant in West Linn.
The city is now paying $1000 per household to have waivers signed for residents in the West Linn community. As some are aware the project is preliminarily estimated to be approximately $230 million in total cost.
Will this impact citizens in terms of additional increases in water rates?

2008 Mayoral Candidate and LONAC Chairperson John Surrett wrote an article on the project last year. The article can be found at:

Tigard citizens just began experiencing the tax increases (fee increases) for the project and will see much more over the next 4 years as their rates double or more. Comments show some opposition in a recent article:

West Linn residents rejected a similar improvement in their water system this past election. Lake Oswego residents were not given the opportunity to vote on the project. http://www.portlandtribune.com/news/story_2nd.php?story_id=129304598914006200
