The water system has 2 wells and a small water reservoir. The Circuit Rider was contacted by IFA and the water system to provide an evaluation of the system which will help point the correct direction for future planning and funding needs.

Loren Shultz with the Oregon IFA is assisting the water system in their funding search. Reviewed 2008 report and other background information. Corresponded with IFA and water system.
