July 29 update
Clackamas Water Environment Services (WES) is starting the construction phase of the Tri-City Water Resource Recovery Facility Outfall Project. In the next seven months, the team will focus on building a ½-mile-long, nine-foot-diameter tunnel using a Tunnel Boring Machine (TBM.) This tunnel will house a new outfall pipeline designed to safely transport treated water from the Tri-City Water Resource Recovery Facility in Oregon City to the Willamette River. WES invited the community to submit names for the TBM and after considering numerous suggestions, the name "Clack-A-Mole" was chosen.
