Every Portlander interacts with Public Works on a daily basis. BES operates and maintains Citywide sanitary sewer and stormwater collection systems and serves a population of approximately 648,097. The bureau is also the City’s lead agency for watershed protection and restoration and recovery of threatened salmon and steelhead species.

The Water Division ensures that the water system can provide a sufficient quantity of high- quality water to satisfy the existing and future needs of the community. Nearly one million people, almost one-quarter of the state’s population, are served from the Bull Run/Columbia South Shore Water Systems. Retail customers use about 60 percent of the water sold, and wholesale customers use the remaining 40 percent. Retail water sales account for approximately 90 percent of water sales revenue; wholesale makes up approximately 10 percent of revenues.
