Construction

Environmental Services and Portland Parks & Recreation collaborated on a project to build nature patches and rain gardens to manage stormwater in Irving Park. The project will help prevent nearby flooding, sewer basement backups, and sewage overflows into the Willamette River during storms.

Environmental Services is constructing a project to expand and remodel the 44-year-old NE 6th Drive Pump Station in the East Columbia neighborhood. The upgrades will modernize equipment, increase system capacity, and protect public health and the environment.

Environmental Services is designing a project to abandon a deteriorated sewer pipe under North Bradford Street between Burlington and Richmond Avenues and reroute all private connections to adjacent streets. Taking these actions now will help prevent sewage releases and improve future maintenance.

Environmental Services is developing the Kenton Priority Outfalls Plan. This planning effort will protect public health and the environment by identifying ways to reduce pollutants in stormwater entering the Columbia Slough. 

This project will replace the traffic signal on N Rosa Parks Way at Greeley Avenue.

Environmental Services is designing a project to repair multiple sewer lateral connections from private properties to the main sewer line. This project will reduce the risks of basement sewer backups, flooding, and emergency repairs in the future.

Bureau of Environmental Services (BES) is designing a project to extend the public sewer system in N Winchell and N Watts Streets east of Fenwick Avenue. This work is part of the City’s ongoing effort to provide a way to directly and independently connect to the public sewer system.
