Water Supply

The water start date has tentatively been set for April 15th. This will depend on the weather and Tumalo Creek flow levels. Expect low and intermittent flows prior to May 1st.  Please call the office at (541) 382-3053 in advance to be put on the list if you want water! We do not automatically open everyone’s gates and valves.

If you do not already know where our water supply comes from, you can read a brief overview here.
