Bull Run Filtration Project

Project
December 2027
Portland is building a new filtration facility to keep our drinking water safe and abundant for generations to come. Filtration will remove the microorganism Cryptosporidium from the Bull Run supply and must be completed by September 2027 to comply with state and federal water quality regulations.
