Water Conservation and Rebates
In the Pacific Northwest, we're used to thinking of water as plentiful and widely available. With continuing population growth and climate changes, our region's water supplies will need to meet increased future water demands - some areas in the region sooner rather than later.
The City of Forest Grove participates in the Regional Water Providers Consortium. For additional information regarding water conservation, please visit the Regional Water Providers Consortium website.
