Portland water supply returns entirely to Bull Run Watershed

PORTLAND, Ore. (KOIN) – Portland’s water is coming entirely from the Bull Run Watershed once again.

Since late July, the city had been supplementing the supply with groundwater from the Columbia South Shore Well Field to keep up with the demand of an especially dry summer.

However, it can take up to two weeks for residents to receive 100% Bull Run water at their taps, depending on their location.

“Keeping our water clean and safe during longer dry seasons means taking care of the systems that deliver it,” Portland Water Bureau Director Quisha Light said. “We’re investing in maintenance and improvements today so our community can count on reliable water no matter the weather.”

Right now, there is a new $2 billion water filtration facility being constructed on Bull Run with a goal of being completed by September 2027.
