Water treatment facilities for the Bull Run supply are currently located at Headworks (in the Bull Run Watershed) and Lusted Hill (between the watershed and the city). The Headworks facility adds chlorine for primary disinfection. The Lusted Hill facility includes the new assets installed as part of the Improved Corrosion Control Treatment project brought online in April of 2022 and adds sodium hydroxide for pH adjustment and ammonia to create chloramines. For the groundwater supply, treatment with sodium hypochlorite, ammonia, and sodium hydroxide occur at the groundwater pump station facility. 994
City of Portland Fiscal Year 2026-27 Proposed Budget Climate change increases the risk storm or post-fire related turbidity events in the Bull Run. The Treatment program mitigates the risk of these impacts to drinking water and makes the water system more resilient and safer for customers and vulnerable communities. Services Bull Run Filtration Groundwater Treatment Headworks Treatment Lusted Hill Treatment Equity Impacts The goal of water treatment is to keep water safe to drink. Drinking water quality issues can disproportionately affect vulnerable populations, including low-income households and people with medical conditions, as alternatives like bottled water are more costly. This program also reduces the potential for lead and copper from premise plumbing to leach into water. Nationally, lead poisoning disproportionately affects children in low-income households. Changes to Program There are no significant changes to this program in FY 2026-27. 995
