BOARDMAN, Ore.-The City of Boardman continues to benefit from an Infrastructure Improvement Bond passed in 2020.
“Boardman residents can take pride in knowing that their decision to support these improvements has had a direct, positive impact on public safety,” said Boardman Police Chief Rick Stokoe.
The City of Boardman highlighted the reliable water supply, including the necessary pressure to respond to a recent fire and keep the community safe, as a direct result of the bond.
“Had this happened six years ago, it would have been a completely different story,” said Chief Stokoe.
According to the City of Boardman, upgrades made possible with the $18 million bond included larger water mains, a redundant loop in the system, a new Ranney collector, a million-gallon water tank, and a reliable backup water supply.
Wastewater and water system improvements funded by Boardman’s Infrastructure Improvement Bond.
- Expansion of the City’s wastewater treatment lagoons and refurbishing three primary lift stations to support community growth between 2022 and 2023. ($3.46 million)
- Phase I Water System Improvements included construction of Collector Well Number 3 in 2023. ($3.47 million)
- Phase 2 Water System Improvements, including the CW3 Pump Station, Booster Pump Station, and a 1-million-gallon reservoir, completed in 2025. ($10.86 million)
The Phase 2 improvements allow Boardman to withdraw its full 36 cubic feet per second surface water right and deliver up to 22,000 gallons per minute to meet peak water demand, according to the City.
“This investment in infrastructure has already proven its worth by helping safeguard our
community.” said Chief Stokoe.
