Community Information & Involvement

  • Outreach staff work to inform the public during construction.

    It’s important that business continues even as streets are torn up to lay pipe deep below.

  • “Stop & Talks” inform community members about future construction impacts.

    These informal events are a great opportunity to chat and get questions answered.

  • Public Outreach

    Staff talk to community members at concerts, street fairs, and other events.

The Portland Water Bureau’s Community Information & Involvement Group (CI&I) is a small team of four professionals dedicated to providing transparent information about the bureau’s projects and activities. CI&I staff work to inform and assist the public on construction and maintenance projects, and develops public involvement opportunities, when possible.

They also respond to news media inquiries and provide information on breaking bureau events. In addition, CI&I staff coordinate the bureau’s Budget Advisory Committee, process Public Record Requests, maintains the bureau website and social media communications tools, produces publications about bureau projects and services, and prepares for the public’s informational needs during an emergency.
