Are you interested in wildlife habitats, keeping water clean, and stopping soil from washing away along a creek, stream, or river?
Join our partners, Clackamas Soil and Water Conservation District, in building a resilient clean water future where all people benefit and rivers thrive! Check out their free Streamside Restoration Workshop on May 17 from 9 a.m. to 3:30 p.m. (lunch included).
Registration is open! In this workshop you'll learn:
Opened in 1974, the Kellogg Creek Water Resource Recovery Facility (WRRF) plays an important role in serving the Clackamas Water Environment Services (WES) community. It treats wastewater from Happy Valley, Johnson City, Milwaukie, and unincorporated areas of Clackamas County. Each day, the facility cleans nearly 7 million gallons of wastewater before releasing it into the Willamette River.
After 50 years of service, it's time for much-needed updates to the facility's administration building to better serve current and future needs. The project will also move some staff facilities into the administration building, which will create space inside the main plant for future improvements to wastewater treatment.
Construction is scheduled to begin in the summer of 2025, with work expected to last about 12 months.
Planned upgrades include:
In recognition of its excellence in plant operations and permit compliance, the Kellogg Creek WRRF received the Peak Performance Awards from the National Association of Clean Water Agencies (NACWA) in 2021, 2022, and 2023.
