Climate change exacerbates the risk of conduit outages from flooding, landslides and wildfire. Bureau supply system and adaptive planning work regularly to evaluate conduit resilience and determine investment needs. 956

City of Portland Fiscal Year 2026-27 Proposed Budget Services Bull Run Treatment Project Pipelines Conduit Maintenance and Improvement Transmission Mains Operations & Maintenance Equity Impacts The Water Bureau recognizes that water distribution problems could disproportionately affect vulnerable populations, including low- income groups and people with medical disabilities due to the high cost of water source alternatives (namely bottled water). Robust maintenance and strengthening resilience of conduits and transmission mains reduce vulnerability. The bureau is updating its Seismic Implementation Plan using a multicultural and equity lens. Staff in this program do not interact directly with the public and do not receive requests for accommodations. This year's budget changes are unlikely to have equity impacts. The projects in this program tend to be significant due to the size of the infrastructure, thus providing opportunities for supporting disadvantaged communities through equity in contracting, consulting, and the workforce, such as with the new Regional Workforce Equity Agreement. Changes to Program There are no significant changes to this program in FY 2026-27. 957
