Water System Master Planning

Westech has completed several water master plans in recent years for various communities in Oregon including Carlton, Jefferson, Dayton, Philomath and Junction City. All of these documents have been prepared in accordance with funding agency guideline for the preparation of planning documents since these plans are often used by Cities as the basis for pursuit of a grant or low interest loan funding package. All of these plans have been reviewed and approved by the Oregon Health Authority Drinking Water Program. The planning effort typically includes an analysis of the planning area, an evaluation of the adequacy and long term water rights needs, and analyses of the water sources, treatment, storage, and distribution system. One of the primary goals of the planning effort is to develop a Capital Improvement Plan for a defined planning period. In some cases, the planning effort will also include rate and SDC studies, leak detection studies, and the preparation of Water Management and Conservation plans.
