Pipelines from WES Clackamas Water Environment Services (WES) is working on projects to improve the county’s infrastructure and support a clean water future. For example, the Willamette Pump Station and Force Main Project will replace the current pump station. The new pump station and force main will increase capacity to, and with the new force main, prevent overflows and improve how wastewater moves from West Linn to the Tri-City Water Resource Recovery Facility. Another project, the Clackamas Area Interceptor Improvement Project, will replace pipes along Highway 212 with larger pipes to accommodate the growth in Happy Valley. This will help WES handle future wastewater needs for both residents and businesses.

Our stabilization center in Milwaukie operates 24/7 for residents experiencing crises like panic attacks, hallucinations, or other mental health disorders. www.clackamas.us/h3s/stabilization-center Blossom & Community In May, Clackamas County opened Blossom & Community, the first of two affordable housing developments in an ambitious phased redevelopment of the 14-acre Hillside Park site.
