Physical weed control, including mulching, or hand removal protects the watershed from harmful chemicals.
Drip and other smart irrigation delivers water directly to roots, allowing no excess water for weeds.
Mulching and adding compost to soil can minimize evaporation and help soil absorb and store water.
Hillsboro Water and Tualatin Valley Water District (TVWD) are partnering to develop the mid-Willamette River at Wilsonville as an additional drinking water source for Hillsboro and TVWD customers by 2026. Currently in the initial planning stages, the new water system will include an expanded Willamette River Water Treatment Plant, additional water storage tanks, and more than 30 miles of pipelines installed from Wilsonville to Beaverton and Hillsboro. A preferred pipeline route from Wilsonville to Hillsboro and Beaverton will be selected early in 2015. Visit www.OurReliableWater.org to learn more about your future water supply.
