We can't prevent disasters, but we can prepare for them! The Cascade Groundwater Alliance, a partnership between the City of Gresham and Rockwood Water People’s Utility District, is expanding our groundwater system to prepare for emergencies. How we’re doing it:

👉🏾 Earthquake-resilient pipes & reservoirs = quicker water service restoration
👉🏾 Protected groundwater supply = safer from natural disasters
👉🏾 Expanded system = emergency backup water for our region
