Tualatin River and CWS - need the ability to sell bonds for green treatments
Tualatin Water District/Clean Water Services
need to meet temperature requirements in the Tualatin River
could use equipment to cool water down before release (more expensive)
could arrange to have trees planted all along the Tualatin River upstream of their release (much less expensive - and has other ecological benefits, such as bank stabilization)
only one of these can be bonded (the capital equipment) because it is the only solution that has an "asset"
could change the definition of asset or change the law about what can be bonded (instead of paid for out of operating expenses)
