Barney Reservoir doesn’t just store water – it saves summer. The rain from this fall and winter will refill the reservoir and will be strategically released to help keep the Tualatin River flowing in the dry summer months.

It all floats down here...straight to your local creek. Storm drains don’t lead to treatment plants – they connect directly to our rivers. Whatever goes down the drain ends up in the water we all depend on.

🌧️ Only rain down the drain.

Happy World Plumbing Day!

Plumbing does more than move water — it helps keep our water clean, prevent disease, and makes our communities more resilient. Keep your plumbing clear. Toss wipes in the trash, not the toilet.
