What is this Project?This project increases system capacity to deliver high-quality drinking water from the Clackamas River to the communities of Lake Oswego and Tigard. Together these two communities can secure long-term access to clean, safe water for less than it would cost them to do it alone. |

Recent and upcoming work in Gladstone
Residents in the Glastone area may have seen the construction trailers and fencing that have gone up at the Lake Oswego Tigard Water Partnership’s river intake pump station site at Ames Park and Portland Avenue.
Over the next few weeks, contractors will continue to prepare the site for the construction process. This week, crews will be protecting the large fir tree on the site by surrounding it with concrete blocks.
Meet the Contractor
Local contractor, Slayden Construction Group, will visit with Gladstone neighbors on Monday night to talk about the construction of the new Clackamas River Intake Pump Station. Slayden was selected through a competative process. Their contract was awarded by Lake Oswego City Council in March. Read more.

Jon Holland from the Partnership talks with Mayor Cook |
On Wednesday May 1st, Tigard Mayor Cook and Councilors Woodard and Snider toured the Lake Oswego Water Treatment Plant and the current River Intake Pump Station (RIPS) on the Clackamas River. Staff from the Partnership and from Tigard showed them the existing water systems and presented information about the upgrades and expansions planned for Tigard’s and Lake Oswego’s water customers.
"It was so enlightening to learn about the process we are developing to bring Tigard's customers the highest quality drinking water,” said Tigard Mayor John Cook. “This partnership with Lake Oswego has been in place for over 40 years, and I didn't realize we have worked together for so long. It gives me confidence to see this process underway and so well-planned."
