Water will be turned off immediately for the entire system since the repair on Wagontire blew the corp stop. It’s expected to be down for less then 1 hour.
For members with pumps, you should shut off pumps if they not setup to auto shut off.
UPDATE: As of 1:33pm, we’ve been notified by OEC that the treatment system is starting up and it will take about 30-45 minutes for everyone to have water.
Leak repair will begin the morning of Tuesday, July 8th so be aware of equipment and trucks in the area of 329 Wagontire Drive. The plant operators from OEC believe the repair can be isolated to a single home so water will not be shut off for all members. OEC is waiting on an official “Okay” from Oregon Utility Notification Center – Oregon811 before they can dig. We will notify everyone if details change.
The Clark’s Branch Water Association Board urgently needs three dedicated volunteers to step up and join our board! Our community’s water resources are vital, and we need your help now to ensure their continued responsible management.
There are currently only three board members after losing two long time members this year to home sales. One issue we are seeing is quorum. If anyone is out sick, or unavailable for a meeting, we do not have the minimum number of voting members required to conduct official business. Your participation is essential! You do not need any prior experience—just a willingness to contribute a couple hours each month to attend meetings and engage in important discussions. Your unique perspective and skills would be an immediate and valuable asset.
If you’re ready to make a real difference and help secure our community’s water future, please attend tonight’s board meeting, June 10, 2025, at 7:00PM. Please call or text the CBWA Secretary, Glen Simpson at 541-680-6762 if you are unavailable tonight but are willing to help out.
Our next meeting is the Annual Member Meeting is always the 3rd Thursday in July. Hope to see everyone there Thursday, July 17th, 2025 at 7:30PM.
We’re counting on your support,
Clarks Branch Water Association Board
Demonstrating its commitment to public health protection and the public’s right-to-know about local environmental information, the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) requires all community water systems to put annual drinking water quality reports into the hands of their members. These reports (also known as consumer confidence reports), which EPA developed in consultation with water suppliers, environmental groups, and the states, will enable you to make practical, knowledgeable decisions about your health and your environment.
