Mount Tabor Reservoirs

Project
Ongoing
The City of Portland has committed $4 million for maintenance, repair, and preservation work at the Mount Tabor Reservoirs. While the three open reservoirs at Mount Tabor no longer supply drinking water, they continue to be important assets to the City of Portland.
