Clackamas River Water Providers, our Regional Water Source
Through the North Clackamas County Water Commission the City of Gladstone is a part of the Clackamas River Water Providers which is a coalition of all the municipal water providers that get their drinking water from the Clackamas River. The purpose of the organization is to fund and coordinate efforts regarding source water protection and public outreach and education around watershed issues, drinking water, and water conservation, so that we can preserve the Clackamas River as a high quality drinking water source and minimize future drinking water treatment costs, while being good stewards of the river.

NATIONAL FIX A LEAK WEEK MARCH 16 - 20, 2020
Across the nation Fix a Leak Week officially kicks off on March 16, 2020. The annual water awareness campaign is sponsored nationally by the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency’s WaterSense Program. In the US the average household's leaks can account for nearly 10,000 gallons of water wasted every year and ten percent of homes have leaks that waste 90 gallons or more per day. Common types of leaks found in the home are worn toilet flappers, dripping faucets, and other leaking valves.
Join in and chase those leaks down with these leak fixing tips:
- Download the Detect and Chase Down Leaks Checklist to see how you can quickly find leaks in your home in a few easy steps.
- A running toilet can waste 200 gallons of water or more each day. Check your toilet for leaks. Learn how to do a toilet dye tab test.
- Check your garden hose for leaks at its connection to the spigot. If it leaks while you run your hose, replace the nylon or rubber hose washer and ensure a tight connection to the spigot using pipe tape and a wrench.
- A water meter can be an invaluable tool to help track your water use and to find leaks. Learn how to read your water meter.
- Leaky faucets can be fixed by checking faucet washers and gaskets for wear and replacing them if necessary. A leaky faucet that drips at the rate of one drip per second can waste more than 3,000 gallons per year. That’s the amount of water needed to take more than 180 showers!
- Request a free Indoor Home Water Audit Kit from the Clackamas River Water Providers by emailing christine@clackamasproviders.org.
