Oregon water conservation projects receive $8.9 million in funding

The Oregon Water Resources Commission recently awarded nine water supply project proposals in the state of Oregon with a combined $8.9 million for projects focusing mainly on water conservation.

The Commission received funding in the amount of $14 million from the state to implement large-scale water conservation plans across the state. Although urged to fund as many projects as possible with the money, the Commission awarded grants to the nine Oregon Water Resources Department recommended projects.

Oregon is doing its part to conserve water on a large-scale.
