City Of Gresham Invites Community To Cascade Groundwater Open House & Water Tasting - 01/20/26

GRESHAM, Ore.— The City of Gresham and Rockwood Water People’s Utility District are in the process of transitioning from wholesale water purchases from the City of Portland to a locally owned groundwater system through the Cascade Groundwater Alliance. This transition to local groundwater, expected to be completed June, 2026, will result in a more cost-effective way to deliver water to households throughout Gresham. 
 
As part of a broader outreach effort, the City of Gresham will host a community open house and water tasting on Wednesday, January 21, giving residents a chance to learn more about the project and taste the water they can expect from their taps later this year.
 
What: Community Open House & Water Tasting
When: Wednesday, January 21, 4 - 6 p.m.
Where: City Council Chambers, 1333 NW Eastman Parkway
 
The Cascade Groundwater Alliance is a partnership to build and operate an independent, safe, and reliable water system that will expand capacity for East Multnomah County. The project includes new and existing wells, treatment facilities, transmission lines, and storage improvements. 
 
“This project marks an important next chapter for our community,” said Mike Whiteley, Water Director and Project Manager for the City of Gresham. “These investments will ensure our community has access to a reliable, sustainable, and cost-effective water supply for generations to come.”
