Sandy City Council discusses future of relationship with Portland Water Bureau
Councilors ask for alternatives to be explored for water resources for the city
With a large filtration plant project in the works by Portland Water Bureau, multiple other wholesale customers discontinuing their relationships with the bureau and a potential increase in cost to remaining wholesale customers (like Sandy) the city is considering also pulling its contract with the bureau.
For decades, Sandy prided itself on being fairly self-sufficient. In 2000, the city broke away from the Metro by discontinuing a relationship with TriMet and creating the Sandy Area Metro transportation department. In 2002, the city created its own internet service provider, SandyNet.
