Keeping drinking water safe and reliable starts with protecting its sources and being ready for emergencies. Source water protection means finding and reducing risks before they affect your water through planning and working with local and state partners to prevent and mitigate potential threats.
Oregon Health Authority Drinking Water Services administers and enforces drinking water regulations for public water systems in Oregon and should be the first point of contact for public water systems regarding their regulatory responsibilities for emergency preparedness, planning and response.
