PUBLIC FACILITIES PLAN
0126-1901
INTRODUCTION
The Public Facilities Plan (PFP) provides a framework for decision on when,
where, and how public facilities will be provided to support the growth forecasted
for the Bend urban area. The facility planning process links land use and the
public utilities needed to support and enhance economic development and
growth. The PFP serves as the basis for the coordination- and provision of utility
facilities over time with in the urban area. The City will use the PFP as a basis
for its five year capital improvement budget.
The City of Bend and Deschutes County have adopted a management
agreement for the urban growth area which provides that the City will take the
lead in preparing the Public Facilities Plan. A Utilities System Master Plan was
prepared in 1992 by David Evans and Associates for the City. The Bend City
Commission and the Board of County Commissioners adopted the Utilities
System Master Plan in early 1993. This document is included by reference as
part of this Public Facility Plan.
The PFP addresses water, sanitary sewer, and drainage facilities.
Transportation planning and facilities needs are provided for in a separate
Transportation System Plan and Transportation Element of the General Plan.
Within the urban area the City provides water, sanitary sewer, and drainage
facilities. Deschutes County provides drainage facilities in connection with road
projects. Two private water districts provide water service within the Bend urban
area and one private utility company provides both water and sewer service to
a limited area. Since there are private systems within the urban area the City
cannot assure the timing and extension of all water and sewer facilities.
The PFP provides the basis for compliance with Oregon Statewide Planning
Goal for Public Facilities and Services andtherelated Oregon Administrative
Rule (OAR 660-11). Certain public facility project descriptions, locations or
service area designations may change as a result of subsequent design studies,
capital improvement programs, environmental studies, and funding availability.
Such changes, along with technical and administrative changes, do not require
formal amendments to this Plan.
FACILITY NEEDS
The need for additional public facilities can come about through increased
demand, through new state and federal regulations, and through a need to
EXHIBIT 1 - ORD. 93-016 Page 1
replace existing lines and facilities. The Public Facilities Plan considers needs
caused b all three factors.
'' U16-1902
The major factor driving the need for additional facilities is the projected growth
in the population and economy in Bend and Central Oregon. Growth in the
Bend Urban Area and its related need for public facilities is influenced by:
population expansion through natural increases and in -migration; expansion of
the economic base; and tourism. The 1992 Utilities System Master Plan
considers these growth components.
In the period 1980 to 1990 population growth in Bend and Deschutes County
increased by 34% and 22% respectively. These growth rates exceeded -the
State-wide growth rate of 8% during the same period. Similar population growth
rates for Bend and Deschutes County are expected to continue due to area's
generally favorable location, good climate, and strong economic base. Figure
1 shows the historic population levels for Deschutes County and the Bend Urban
Growth Area and projected population at a moderate growth rate of 2.5% per
year.

The other growth components that influence the need for more public facilities
are the area's economic base and tourism. Bend is the regional center for retail
trade, professional services and medical services. As such, the commercial and
industrial base is supported by a much larger population base and labor force
than just the Bend urban area. Bend's position as regional trade and service
center, when combined with the State's forecast that the future employment
EXHIBIT i- oxn 93-016 Page 2
growth rate will exceed the population growth rate, means Bend can expect an
increased demand for water and sewer facilities to protect and serve new
businesses and industries.
I,126-1 nno
Deschutes County was host to more than 3.5 million visitors and tourists in 1991.
This high level of visitors and tourists generates a strong. demand for commercial
services in the Bend area such as motels and restaurants that add to the
demand for water and sewer facilities. Tourism is expected to grow during the
next decade.
SYSTEM DESCRIPTION
The Utilities System Master Pian is based on community -wide planning,
engineering, and financing studies. The master plan addresses long term water
and sewer facility needs for the whole urban area based on the potential buildout
density. The Utilities System Master Plan serves as a background document to
the Public Facilities Plan. The short descriptions below for the water and sewer
systems are taken from the Master Plan.
Water System
The Bend water system derives its source from both surface water runoff and
deep ground water wells. The surface water originates in the watershed east of
town and the intake on Bridge Creek approximately 11.5 miles from town. The
City has three wells in operation with additional wells planned to match the
community's growth.
The water distribution system is comprised of approximately 180 miles of mains.
About 11 miles of old water mains are scheduled for replacement. In 1992 the
City had 9 reservoirs to serve different elevations throughout the urban area.
The water system portion of the Utilities System Master Plan describes the size,
number, and location of wells, reservoirs, transmission and supply lines that will
be needed to serve population and econorrfic growth.
Sewer System
The City wastewater treatment plant was built in 1980 and has a design capacity
for about twice the 1992 flow rates. The plant collection system uses gravity and
pressure lines to serve land within the City limits. Outside the City limits the
predominant sewage treatment methods are septic tanks with drain fields or drill
holes.
EXHIBIT 1 - ORD. 93-016 Page 3
The wastewater plant portion of the Utilities Master Plan describes the additional
facilities that will be needed to treat wastes for the existing and planned growth
of the urban area. The collection system part of the Master Plan describes the
size and general location of gravity lines needed to serve 76 drainage basins in
the urban area.
Storm Sewer System
0126-1904
Due to topography and the lack of a natural drainage system in the Bend area
most storm water is disposed of "on-site" using drill holes or dry wells. The City
has begun a program to replace the drill holes in City streets with DEQ approved
dry wells.
The City does have a limited storm sewer collection system .in the downtown
area and on the west side of the Deschutes River. The collection system is not
tied into the sanitary sewer system and drains into the Deschutes River.
IMPLEMENTATION
Historically, the revenues for construction of the major public facilities have come
from several sources:
♦ State and Federal grants;
♦ General Fund revenues;
♦ General Obligation bonds;
♦ Local Improvement Districts;
♦ Water and Sewer user rate structure;
♦ General Benefit Fees/System Development Charges; and
♦ Private developer who contract prior to scheduled imrpovement.
The 1992 Utilities System Master Plan estimated the construction costs for the
forecast improvements to the water system, sewer collection system, and
wastewater treatment plant. The estimated cost for all system improvements
that are needed to serve the BUILDOUT population is $176 million. The City will
continue to use as many funding sources as is appropriate to extend and
construct facilities in a timely and efficient manner.
