| 82 | 2024-11-01T01:34:16+00:00 | Portland Water <Water@info.portland.gov> | October 2024 Bull Run Treatment Projects Update | | Filtration project keeps flowing The filtration construction teams are making significant progress developing the sites for the filtration facility and pipelines. In October, we completed improvements on Cottrell Road and Carpenter Lane to meet County standards for better access to the filtration facility site. We also began hauling roughly 1,500–3,000 tons of stockpiled clean soil from the area using designated haul routes. The pipeline team continued delivering equipment and materials, removing vegetation and debris, and developing construction roads at the pipeline sites. Crews also began work to temporarily widen the east side of Altman Road to help manage traffic during upcoming pipeline construction, including installation of new PHWD water mains later this year. In November, we expect to start concrete work at the facility site. We’ll also begin construction of the pipeline tunnel that will run more than 200 feet underground from the existing infrastructure in Lusted Road to the facility site. | Partnering with PHWD As part of the Bull Run Filtration Project, the Water Bureau is partnering with Pleasant Home Water District (PHWD) to improve local water infrastructure and coordinate construction activities and customer notifications. PHWD has been a wholesale customer of the Water Bureau since the 1940s and receives its entire supply from the Bull Run source. The twin profiles of PHWD’s green water storage tanks are a familiar sight on the southern border of the Water Bureau’s filtration facility property, and many project neighbors get their drinking water from PHWD. As part of project construction, the Water Bureau’s contractors will install nearly 5,000 linear feet of new PHWD six- and eight-inch water mains later this year. The new location for the water mains, in the Altman Road and Lusted Road right-of-way, will clear space and reduce potential conflicts with planned Water Bureau pipelines. The new PHWD water mains will be made of modern ductile iron, and steps will be taken during installation to increase their longevity and reduce the likelihood of corrosion from the soil. Water Bureau and PHWD staff coordinated during each project phase to ensure ease of operations and maintenance today and into the future. Once the new filtration facility is built, more than 11,800 community members within five miles of the project—including PHWD customers—will get high-quality filtered Bull Run water delivered to their tap. | | Bull Run Filtration: Coffee with the Contractor The Water Bureau will host an informal drop-in session where Bull Run Filtration Project neighbors can chat with representatives of the facility and pipeline construction teams, ask questions, and hear about recent progress and upcoming work.
