The City of Portland Water Bureau serves water to nearly a quarter of all Oregonians. We’re committed to great water sources, public health, community relationships, and planning ahead. Our mission is to serve excellent water every minute of every day.
The Portland Water Bureau monitors weather, water levels, and water use to ensure our customers have access to plenty of safe, clean drinking water all year. Thanks to careful planning and investment in two high-quality water sources, we’ll continue to meet our community’s needs for decades to come.
On July 1, sewer and stormwater rates will increase 5.15 percent and water rates will increase 8.1 percent. Together, these changes will increase the typical single-family residential customer's bill by 6.36 percent, or about $10.20 per month. Bills will also include a new Flood Safety Benefit Fee.
