A Resilient Water Supply System
Clean and reliable water is essential to support public health and a vibrant local economy. Natural disasters such as earthquakes, severe storms, flooding and droughts can affect drinking water supplies, thereby threatening public health and safety as well the region’s economy. Creating a water supply system that is resilient against these risks is of utmost importance to the Willamette Water Supply partners.

The Regional Water Providers Consortium Presents a Case for Conservation
"Even if your community uses more than one water source, the amount of water available from each source may vary from month to month, and the amount of water used by households in the summer months can be two to three times more than what is used in the winter months.
It is important to keep sufficient water in the rivers and streams to meet the needs of fish and aquatic life, as well as for other users. What can you do? Be smart with the water you use so that there is plenty to go around."
