Bull Run Watershed Tour See your water source up close and personal! CRPCA has scheduled a group tour of Portland's Bull Run Watershed on Mount Hood for Saturday, October 2, 2010.
Q: Why visit Bull Run? Seeing the watershed first-hand builds appreciation for this awesome resource in our community. Also, outside of organized tours like this one, it's one of the more inaccessible places in Oregon to the general public. And think what a fun excursion this will be with Peace Corps people; among other things we can compare notes on water sources in the communities we served in!
Q: Do I drink water from Bull Run? Chances are very good that you do if you live or work in Multnomah or eastern Washington counties. For example, the entire city of Portland is on Bull Run water for most of each year. (For a few weeks each year, Portland's water comes from the Columbia South Shore Well Field, which is also visited on the tour.) See the following links for more information. Q: What's the tour involve? Meet tour bus at Hollywood Fred Meyer 9:00 am sharp. Expect return by 5:00 pm. Please read and digest the details in the CRPCA Bull Run Letter. You can also print, fill out, and plan to bring along with photo ID the required Adult Waiver and/or Under 18 Waiver. Q: Can I bring my kids? There is no firm age limit, but be aware that the tour involves a long bus ride and the need to be attentive during talks. Per Portland Water Bureau staff, "children are welcome if parents feel confident that their kids would enjoy it, or at least not be TOO bored or disruptive." Q: How can I make a reservation? Sorry, not this year. We were aiming to receive payment for 15 seats by 8/31, but this tour turned out to be immensely popular, and we've already filled all 26 seats on the bus! You can count on CRPCA scheduling a group Bull Run tour again in 2011 for those who are missing this year's. Thanks for your interest!
