Water Service Boundary Adjustment and Water System Intertie Interlocal Agreements with 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. The City of Vancouver approved the Columbia Palisades Master Plan in 2016, and the developer is currently designing the first phases of the project to move towards construction. The developer and the City of Vancouver have approached 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. Additionally, Vancouver has asked that if Camas does serve the area that an Emergency Intertie be installed to provide additional water to their system during large fires or other water related emergencies. The City of Camas water system has adequate pressures and could be expanded to provide service to the project and an emergency intertie between the two water systems; 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 service to the Master Plan and construct the intertie, two interlocal agreements have been drafted for consideration. Staff provides a summary of the attached interlocal agreements at the Council Workshop and responded to Council questions. Presenter: Steve Wall, Public Works Director
