We are fortunate to have some of the best drinking water in the world – minimally treated, straight from the Bull Run Watershed near Mt. Hood. The Portland Water Bureau works hard to keep that drinking water safe.

Bureau staff also want to improve how they communicate with our community, especially in the event of an emergency.  

In May, a citywide Drinking Water Advisory notified Portlanders to boil their drinking water because of possible contamination.  

How did you find out about a water advisory? Did you know how to make the water safe to drink? What could we do better next time? Please complete a short online survey and share your experience!

Thanks for taking the time to help us improve our services. Check out the Portland Water Bureau’s website for more information.
