City insisting Kerby district needs storage
From our weekly issue dated May 28, 2008
A question of whether the city of Cave Junction can require water storage by Kerby Water District (KWD) in connection with providing water service is under study.
KWD board members and the city council with City Recorder Jim Polk met in a workshop in city hall Wednesday evening, May 21. The meeting, during which no action was possible because of it being a workshop, lasted some 70 minutes.

The city’s position is that all previous KWD plans for water service have included a water storage facility. But now KWD has found that it does not have sufficient funding for such a facility.

Engineers for the district contend that the water system would be fine without storage. The city, led by Mayor Tony Paulson, is saying that it has concerns, especially in case of a major fire.
The city is awaiting word from its engineers, and will consider the matter later for possible action.
