Today is #WorldPlumbingDay. In Washing County, wastewater from 600,000+ people travel through more than 1,900 miles of pipe and 44 pumps stations before being treated and safely returned to the Tualatin River. Community investment at work 24/7, 365 days a year. #TualatinRiver

We could not let Dr. Suess Day pass without some social media ham. We could not do it, Sam-I-am.

Let's filter the 💩 out of your feed. Every day, our clarifiers treat ~ 66 million gallons of used water, recovering resources and returning it to the Tualatin River. Check how long-term planning helps us meet future needs without big rate spike. cleanwaterservices.org/2025/07/29/cla…
