The good news is that we already meet key requirements of this rule. Learn more about the new regulations and how our improved corrosion control treatment reduces lead exposure in homes known to have lead in their plumbing. Imagine a day without water Need a theme for your haunted house? What about “Imagine a Day Without Water”? Yikes. Even thinking about it gives us the heebie-jeebies. October 17 marked Imagine a Day Without Water. While nature provides our water, it takes pipes, pumps, and people working 24/7 to deliver clean and safe water to homes and businesses. Crews repair main break in Northwest Portland Our crews quickly responded to a 16-inch water main break in Northwest Portland earlier this month. But this wasn’t just your typical main break. Alongside ankle-deep water, crews also had to deal with a tricky power pole in the excavation area and a tree’s compromised root system. Bull Run Filtration Facility featured in DJC The Daily Journal of Commerce took a field trip to see the crews at work building our new filtration facility. When completed, the Bull Run Filtration Project will remove the microorganism Cryptosporidium and help prepare us for climate change threats like wildfires and severe flooding. Fill up on everything happening with the project by subscribing to e-news updates. Historic Thompson Elk Fountain is set to return The iconic Thompson Elk Fountain is returning to its original downtown location! Work is scheduled to be completed in 2025. Along with seismic improvements to the stone base, the project will add a recirculating pump to the fountain, saving about seven million gallons of water a year. Do you have a ghost in your home? Meet Matt, water expert by day and ghost hunter by night. Follow him as he investigates an eerie noise coming from a neighbor’s basement. Is it a ghost or a problem with the water pipes? (Disclaimer: Matt is not a certified ghost hunter, but you can call him if you need help investigating a problem with your water pressure or water quality.) Fat Bear Week: Which bear are you? Every year, Katmai National Park and Preserve releases their chunkiest picks for Fat Bear Week, and no one notices our Bull Run Watershed bears have bulked up too. So here are our Bull Run bears in all their chubby glory. Fun fact: Instead of hibernating, black bears in the Bull Run Watershed go into a state called torpor. They’ll occasionally wake up and become active for a short period of time when the weather is fair, then go back to sleep. Need help paying your bill?
