The water providers in the Clackamas River Basin have been working together on various water resource issues for more than a decade.  In July of 2005 an Intergovernmental Agreement for Joint Funding for Watershed Activities in the Clackamas Basin was signed between water providers and Clackamas County Water Environment Services to formalize collaborative work on watershed and water quality related projects.  During the summer of 2007 strides were made to by the water providers to expand these efforts to include water conservation and broader water resource issues with the signing of the Intergovernmental Agreement creating the Clackamas River Water Providers.

The organization is made up of representatives from the City of Estacada, the City of Lake Oswego, Clackamas River Water, the North Clackamas County Water Commission (City of Gladstone and Oak Lodge Water District), South Fork Water Board (Oregon City and West Linn), and Sunrise Water Authority (Happy Valley and Damascus).  For more information about our Board or each member agency click here.  

The organization includes two staff people, a Water Resource Manager and a Public Outreach  & Education Coordinator.  The purpose of the organization is to fund and coordinate efforts regarding water resource planning and management, water conservation and the development of the Clackamas River on a sustainable basis.  The Water Resource Manager is responsible for the day to day operations of the organizations as well as overseeing the development and implementation of the watershed and conservation programs.  The Public Outreach and Education Coordinator is responsible for education and outreach efforts to the public about source water protection and watershed issues, stormwater issues, drinking water treatment and distribution, as well as water use and conservation.
