Clackamas Watershed Tour: RSVP by Sept 25 for Oct. 5 Tour

Published August 29, 2024

8/29/2024 From Kim Swan, Water Resource Manager, Clackamas River Water Providers

“It is that time of year again! Each year at the beginning of October the Clackamas River Water Providers host a tour of the Clackamas Watershed for elected officials from CRWP member agencies, interested citizens, and the citizens in CPO’s and Neighborhood Associations in the CRWP service area. The purpose of these tours is to connect our citizens and policy makers with direct experience in the watershed (our source of drinking water), and to introduce them to some of the CRWP partners and stakeholders.

This year our tour will include stops at all four CRWP member water treatment plants in the lower river. Combined these plants provide water to over 300,000 people in Clackamas and Washington Counties.  Participants will learn how each plant works, how they are different, how all our systems are interconnected, as well as some of the future challenges we face as water providers.  Last time we did this tour was back in 2012 and it still remains one of the most popular tours we have done.

All transportation, meals, snacks and beverages will be provided by the Clackamas River Water Providers. The day will begin with a light breakfast of coffee, juice and pastries at Clackamas River Water’s water treatment plant located at 9100 SE Mangan Drive Clackamas, OR 97015.

Lunch will be served at the North Clackamas County Water Commission water treatment plant and plenty of snacks and beverages will be provided on the bus.  Please dress appropriately for fall weather conditions and wear sturdy shoes.

Please RSVP by September 25th to Christine Hollenbeck, CRWP Public Outreach and Education Coordinator at christine@clackamasproviders.org if you would like to join us.

See the attached flyer for more information. I hope you will join us for this fun, educational day.”
