A Message from Clackamas Water Environment Services Director Greg Geist
Dear Valued Customer,
 
On behalf of Clackamas Water Environment Services (WES), I wish you and your loved ones a happy and healthy 2023.

This past year saw milestone achievements, rewarding partnerships and progress on projects designed to strengthen our ability to serve you and all the diverse communities and businesses who depend on us.

While 2022 was a very productive year for WES, the best is yet to come.

This newsletter provides you with a peek into our collective future. It explains how WES' five-year Capital Improvement Plan lays the groundwork to ensure that we will meet your wastewater treatment and surface water needs for many years to come.

2023 will also be a pivotal year for our 3-Creeks Natural Area Floodplain Enhancement Project, which will enhance the floodplain and benefit water quality, fish and wildlife.

I invite you to learn more about these and other projects at our website, clackamas.us/wes.

WES enjoys being deeply connected to the communities we serve, whether it’s partnering
on projects, supporting community events or educating residents from all walks of life. We strive to be a collaborative partner in building a resilient clean water future where all people benefit, and rivers thrive.

Clean water for all is what WES is all about.

 Sincerely,

Greg Geist, WES Director
Building for the Future

Interested in Joining the Team?
Clackamas Water Environment Services produces clean water and protects water quality for nearly 200,000 people living and working in Clackamas County.

Each year, we clean more than seven billion gallons of water. In the process, we convert materials that have long been considered “waste” into natural energy and fertilizer. We also help reduce pollution in local rivers, streams, and wetlands caused by stormwater runoff, the number one source of water pollution in Oregon.

We educate and assist community members from all walks of life. It’s our job to ensure that our families and neighbors enjoy the benefits of safe, healthy water for generations to come.

WES is a county department, a service district and a ratepayer-funded organization.
