Clackamas River Water Providers

kenya_concord The Clackamas River Water Providers is a coalition of the municipal water providers on the Clackamas River that are working together on water resource issues. The purpose of the organization is to collectively fund and coordinate efforts regarding water resource planning and management, water conservation and the development of the Clackamas River on a sustainable basis.

By working together we are able to jointly fund projects and studies that benefit all the providers but which would be too expensive to do individually. It allows us to foster closer relationships with each other as intra-basin water suppliers, and to speak in one voice when working with other stakeholders in the basin such as PGE.

It also allows us to realize the economies of scale and save money by sharing in the costs of staff people to manage and coordinate programs that benefit all our agencies, rather than each agency having to have their own staff, or having one agency taking on the staffing burden for everyone else benefit.

Together we are working to conserve and protect our natural resources to ensure clean, affordable, drinking water for years to come. For more information contact us or check out our current events page to see where we will be next.

* PLEASE NOTE - the Clackamas River Water Provider Conservation Rebate Program will end on June 30th due to funding cuts for next fiscal year. If you would like to participate in the rebate program please send in your paperwork by the end of the month.

Each year the Clackamas River Water Providers hold a coloring contest with local elementary schools in our service area to create our annual Water Conservation Calendar. Thanks to all of you in our community who voted to help us choose the cover for next year's calendar! The poster with the most votes was Kenya a 3rd grader from Concord Elementary. Her picture will be on the cover of our 2010 Water Conservation Calendar.
