Filtration Neighbor Update

City of Portland, Oregon sent this bulletin at 02/14/2025 06:23 PM PST

In January, the state Land Use Board of Appeals (LUBA) partially remanded on Multnomah County’s conditional use permit approval related to the natural resources criteria back to the County. On February 14, 2025, construction of the Bull Run Filtration project was temporarily halted until the remand process is complete. The Water Bureau has begun a wind-down and pause of construction for the remand period.

During the remand process, the Water Bureau will continue to maintain erosion control and applicable permit conditions as well as coordinate with the County to ensure project improvements are paused in a manner that protects public safety.

The project is required by the federal Safe Drinking Water Act and must be in operation by September 30, 2027, through a bilateral compliance agreement with the Oregon Health Authority.
