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 2024.

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

There is more to come. Our five-year Capital Improvement Plan (CIP) provides a working blueprint for how we will maintain and improve our infrastructure this year and beyond.

I'd also like to invite you to take a look at our new Strategic Plan. The new plan refreshes our vision, mission, and values to clearly articulate the foundation for our operations and drive our day-to-day work. We have never been more focused on what’s critical to the nature of our work, our service area communities, our people, and the public we serve.

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.

Clean water for all.

 Sincerely,

Greg Geist
Director, Clackamas Water Environment Services
Join Us for a Virtual Meeting to Learn About the Tri-City Water Resource Recovery Facility Outfall Project
Tuesday, January 23
6:30 p.m. to 7:30 p.m.

Every day, we clean more than 10 million gallons of wastewater at our Tri-City Water Resource Recovery Facility in Oregon City. The treated water, called “effluent,” is then released to the Willamette River. An outfall is the discharge point where the treated water flows into the river.

The current outfall from the Tri-City facility is nearing capacity during peak wet weather events. The new outfall will be large enough to provide service for decades to come. Construction of the new Tri-City Water Resource Recovery Facility Outfall begins in 2024.
Clackamas Area Interceptor Improvement Project Overview and Virtual Tour
The Clackamas Area Interceptor (An interceptor is a gravity sewer that transmits large volumes of wastewater to a wastewater treatment facility) lacks capacity to serve current and future ratepayers and needs rehabilitation in some areas. Design is underway. Construction will be phased over the next decade in three or four phases.
