The Dalles City Council voted to approve providing water service for irrigation of a commercial marijuana growing operation outside of the city limits.  Councilors had originally denied the request for an estimated use of 30,000 gallons per month between October and April at an operation on 6140 Mill Creek Road.  But Mayor Steve Lawrence says the Council received some more information, and decided to approve the request, even though there was some concern about water usage.  He added the amount requested is well within the City’s capacity.  Councilor Russ Brown expressed a concern with precedent and what the next request might be, but fellow Councilor Linda Miller noted there are already food processors using much more water.  The vote was 3-1, with Brown voting no.  The grow operation has an irrigation right for water during the spring and summer months.
