Water Conservation Alert: Reduce Water Use for Fish Migration

Lake Oswego and the Clackamas River Water Providers are asking our customers to help keep water in the Clackamas River for the fall fish runs. River levels are significantly low right now, so let’s make sure there is enough water for the Coho and Chinook Salmon by reducing or shutting off outdoor watering. Red conservation actions:

Reducing or shutting down all outdoor watering, spot water when needed
Taking your car to a commercial carwash which recycles the water
Shutting off all outdoor water features
Not letting water run off driveways, sidewalks, or down the street

The more we can conserve, the easier this journey will be for these threatened and endangered salmon species.

Thanks for doing your part to keep water in the Clackamas River!

Water Treatment Plant Tours

Interested in learning more about your drinking water? Every drop begins in the Clackamas River — one of Oregon's most pristine water sources.

Discover where your water comes from by signing up to one of our water treatment plant tours! It's a great opportunity to see the process firsthand, meet the team, and deepen your connection to the water you rely on every day.

Tours are held about once a month between spring and summer, take approximately 1 ½ hours and are limited to 15 people per tour.

Ash Tree Removal & Management

The City is taking proactive measures to help minimize the impacts of the emerald ash borer (EAB) – a non-native, invasive wood-boring beetle that feeds on ash trees, eventually killing them. These measures will help reduce the impacts of the loss of ash trees across the city and protect the public and City staff from ash trees as they become hazardous.

In October, the City will begin preemptively removing approximately 150 trees from City-owned properties including parks, open spaces and facilities. The selected ash trees are near homes, utilities, paths or roads and may become hazardous once infested. Trees scheduled for removal will be marked with a red X.

Canines for Clean Water

Many pet owners don’t realize that dog waste isn’t just a nuisance — it’s a serious environmental pollutant. When left on the ground, especially in urban or suburban areas, dog waste doesn’t just disappear. It gets washed away by rain and irrigation into storm drains and local waterways, creating a chain of problems for ecosystems, public health, and water quality. Join Canines for Clean Water and take the pledge to keep our waterways clear of pet waste!
