Work Scheduled At Water Treatment Plant Park In Nov. And Dec.

WILSONVILLE, OR — Residents around Wilsonville's Willamette River Water Treatment Plant Park should prepare for possible disruptions throughout November and December as contractors with the Willamette Water Supply Program conduct survey work and geotechnical drilling along parts of the Ice Age Tonquin Trail.

The park will remain open during the planned work, but there may be pathway blockages and noticeable equipment around the area during the work period.

City officials announced the upcoming work in a statement released Tuesday, Oct. 31. Work around the plant, which is located at 10350 S.W. Arrowhead Creek Ln., will occur between 8 a.m. and 5 p.m. Monday through Friday for the next two months, officials said, noting that no work will be performed on national or school holidays, such as Veterans Day or Thanksgiving.

Residents in the area and across the river at Morey's Landing should expect to receive an informative mailer from Willamette Water Supply Program (WWSP) officials explaining the work and schedule.

Wilsonville city officials are working with the WWSP, Tualatin Valley Water District (TVWD) and city of Hillsboro to build a new 30-mile, seismically resilient pipeline from the Willamette River to Highway 26 for improved drinking water infrastructure that is expected to accommodate the thousands of new residents coming to South Hillsboro's developing community.

TVWD and Hillsboro water customers are funding the WWSP project.
