Water Supply
As communities in the Tualatin Basin continue to grow, more water will be needed for municipal and industrial uses. In addition, more water is needed to augment flow in the Tualatin River and its tributaries for water quality. The two water supply options being considered assume aggressive conservation targets for homes and businesses, wastewater reuse, and aquifer storage and recovery.
These options are:
- A 40-foot (12 m) dam raise at Henry Hagg Lake with a raw water pipeline pumpback.
- A multiple source option that includes a 25-foot (7.6 m) dam raise at Hagg Lake with a raw water pipeline pumpback and expansion of the Willamette River Water Treatment Plant for municipal uses.

Walking towards them through some dappled park
As if on water that unfocused she
No match lit up, nor drag ever brought near....”
