Portland is planning a new filtration facility to keep our water safe and abundant for generations to come. The new filtration facility will remove the microorganism Cryptosporidium and must be completed by 2027 to comply with state and federal water quality rules.
Today, Thursday, Sept. 28, 2023, the Portland Water Bureau’s lead climate expert Kavita Heyn will be participating in the first-ever White House Summit on Building Climate Resilient Communities.
At the Water Bureau we’re always looking to the future and proactive ways to ensure our drinking water stays safe and plentiful. The new filtration facility is a key step to enhance our supply resilience to wildfire and extreme weather events.
