Capital Improvement Projects
What We Build Matters
Together as a community, we’ve invested in essential facilities, services and structures that support your daily life. That’s why the work of building things like roads, parks and water reservoirs for the community gets labeled “public works” – these projects benefit the public, all of us.
Capital Improvement Plan
The Capital Improvement Plan (CIP) is Tigard's 5-year plan for matching the cost of large-scale improvements—like fixing roads, water and sewer systems—to anticipated revenues, like taxes and bonds. Learn more about our projects below.
ASR Expansion Feasibility Study (96070)
Categories:- CIP Projects
- Funded
- Water
Project Description
The first phase of this project will utilize the City’s hydrogeologist of record to perform an evaluation of current ASR well operations and to prepare a new operational plan to meet projected increased water demands. In the second phase of this project, the City’s hydrogeologist of record will assist staff in locating potential sites for additional ASR wells. In addition, test wells will be drilled by a qualified driller in order for the hydrogeologist to determine suitability of the well for ASR purposes. Therefore, the second phase study will include both consultant and drilling services.
Project Need
Under the city’s aquifer storage and recovery (ASR) limited license, the city has the ability to drill and install up to five ASR wells. Three ASR wells have been drilled since the limited license was obtained in 2000 and serve as the city’s back-up resilient water source. With anticipated population growth and increasing water demand, the city will will optimize operation of its existing ASR wells to meet increased water demand and evaluate if the development of additional ASR wells is feasible.
