Board approves annexation of single-family property into Clackamas River Water District
Summary
The board granted a petition to annex a single-family residence on South Ferguson Terrace into the Clackamas River Water District service area; staff said the property's well failed and the district already provides emergency service. The motion passed 5-0.
The Clackamas County Board of Commissioners voted 5-0 on Feb. 6 to annex a single-family property on South Ferguson Terrace into the Clackamas River Water District for permanent domestic water service.
County counsel Jane Veto said the property’s well had failed and the district was providing emergency water service. "If the board approves this annexation, the district service area will be extended to include the subject property permanently," Veto said, and staff told the board they had reviewed county code and state law and found the annexation consistent with those authorities. County staff said there is no fiscal impact to the county and no county general funds are involved.
Commissioner Savas moved to approve annexation 2024-4; Commissioner Fireside seconded. The clerk called the poll: Commissioners West, Schrader, Fireside, Savas and Chair Roberts all voted "Aye." The motion passed, 5-0.
Why it matters: the annexation makes the Clackamas River Water District the permanent domestic-water provider for the parcel after a failed private well; the county recorded no fiscal impact.
What was decided: the board granted the property owner’s petition and directed staff to complete the administrative steps to record the annexation with the district.
Implementation details: staff indicated the district will extend its service area to include the property; no county general funds were required, and the record says the district had already provided emergency water service while the owner sought annexation.
