For more than a hundred years, reservoirs on the slopes of Mt. Tabor formed a major part of Portland’s water system.

While the three open reservoirs at Mt. Tabor no longer supply drinking water, they continue to be important assets to the City of Portland.

The Portland Water Bureau is working with Portlanders, including representatives of the Mt. Tabor Neighborhood Association, to design interpretive displays and mobile app content that will tell the story of the Mt. Tabor reservoirs to park visitors.
