West PDX Today

Protection of public health is the City of Hillsboro Water Department’s number one priority. To ensure every drop is safe and of the highest quality, Hillsboro’s water is filtered and treated in an extensive process and tested regularly by a state-certified laboratory.

Each year, Hillsboro Water publishes Water Quality Reports - also referred to as Consumer Confidence Reports (CCRs) — for Hillsboro's three community water systems:

• In-town Water System: Customers located west of Cornelius Pass Road and south of Highway 26 (Sunset Highway), as well as the area to the west between Hillsboro and Cornelius.
• Upper Water System: Customers in western Washington County along Hillsboro’s original water service line, from the community of Dilley, along Highway 47, then up to the Cherry Grove community.
• Butternut Creek Water System: Customers located off SE Butternut Creek Parkway.

The 2023 Water Quality Reports - now available online in English and Spanish – show Hillsboro’s water exceeds requirements set by the Oregon Department of Public Health and Environmental Protection Agency.

Each report includes:

• Results of water tests conducted the previous year between January 1 and December 31, 2022.
• Important information about Hillsboro’s current water source — the upper-Tualatin River — and future additional water source, the Willamette River at Wilsonville.
• A detailed description of the drinking water treatment process that removes particles, viruses, bacteria, and other organisms, including COVID-19.
• Tips customers can take to protect our drinking water at the source.
