Our fight goes on to keep our open reservoirs

MTNA Land-use chair Stephanie Stewart urged the City to drop plans for building a costly filtration plant to treat Bull Run water, while continuing to pursue legislative relief from the EPA rule. Click here to see her letter. At its July 29 meeting, the Portland City Council agreed to drop plans for a "direct" filtration plant in favor a less costly -- and less invasive -- ultraviolet treatment facility. That would ease the burden on Portland water rate payers but leave unclear the ultimate fate of the city's five open reservoirs.

Annual Neighborhood Cleanup generates $3,653

The MTNA Neighborhood Cleanup, blessed by beautiful weather May 9, was a great success. MTNA volunteers unloaded 229 vehicles and filled nine giant drop boxes with a variety of debris, said event Coordinator Deb Scott  "Most of the material was bulky waste, old lumber, some building material, household junk and some appliances," she said. More than 40 volunteers helped, many staying for the 4 1/2 hour duration of the cleanup, MTNA's principle fund-raiser. Useable items were set aside in a special area at the Mt. Tabor Middle School, where the cleanup was held, for sale to bargain hunters.
