Each year the City prepares a Drinking Water Quality Report required by the Oregon Health Authority. This report is a summary of the quality of water we provided to our customers. We are happy to report that your water meets and exceeds the safe drinking water standards set by the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) and Cottage Grove has once again been listed as an "Outstanding Performer" by the Oregon Health Authority (OHA). Please click on the tab below to access the current year's report.

 

An additional requirement from the Oregon Health Authority is to prepare a Water Management and Conservation Plan. You can access the plan by the tab below. We have included a tab with Water Conservation Tips. Please take the time to look at the ways you can conserve treated drinking water and reduce waste. Another source for water conservation tips will be included in your Utility bill. Please watch for them as they will be included on a semi or quarterly basis. If you want to compete with friends and neighbors or even earn points for valuable incentives visit www.greeningthegrove.org to join the City’s Sustainability and Resiliency Challenge.

 

During the summer of 2024, the Cottage Grove Public Works Utility crews were out checking the water service lines and documenting the pipe sizes and types of materials on both the public and private side in search of any sign of lead piping. This investigation also included the connector types. Utility staff used building records to identify the dates of installation. City Crews visually inspected every meter pit on all water services that were installed prior to 1985. Due to plumbing code and local ordinances, any line that is 2 inches or larger or installed after 1985 was a non-lead material.

 

The Oregon Health Authority Drinking Water Services requested a full report of the findings with a replacement plan should there be lead detected. The City of Cottage Grove submitted their findings to the Oregon Health Authority Drinking Water Services who  received and accepted the service line inventory showing all non-lead service lines. This investigation identified no lead service lines in the City of Cottage Grove.
