Water. It's who we are.
Have you seen or heard any of the Consortium's conservation messaging in the news this summer? Consortium members collaborate and share resources to communicate about the importance of using water wisely. See what we are talking about here.
Where does your water come from?

You can find out more about our local water sources here and check out what is going on throughout the state here . Not sure who your provider is? Use this handy lookup tool to find out.
Helping our Neighbors in Salem
Thanks to our members for sending five of the region's emergency water distribution trailers to Salem, OR last month to help provide drinking water to Salem residents during their drinking water advisory. Having emergency water treatment and distribution equipment is one of the many ways that our water providers are making the region more resilient. Learn more about our work here.
Spanish-language resources available
Through a partnership with KUNP Television, the Consortium developed Spanish-language conservation resources and tools on how to use water wisely. Spanish language information now available includes conservation tips, information about rebates and our current watering gauge promotion, linked here .
