Oregon Drinking Water Protection Program

Oregon promotes drinking water protection through a partnership of the Oregon Department of Environmental Quality and the Department of Human Services. We encourage you to check out the introductory topics to gain a quick understanding of how the program is organized in Oregon. Source water assessments have been completed for all public water systems in Oregon, and technical assistance is available for communities interested in protecting drinking water. For assistance with developing and implementing drinking water protection strategies, please refer to the staff contact information page. There are many links to drinking water protection resources and other programs. This page is updated periodically with new information and links.
