ABOUT THE WILLAMETTE INTAKE FACILITIES

The Intake Facilities are used to withdraw and transmit water to the Parties at the agreed System Separation Point between the Willamette River Water Treatment Plant System and the Willamette Water Supply System. The Intake Facilities include the fish screens, intake pipe, caisson, pump station building, and other jointly owned equipment leading up to the System Separation Point defined as the point at which water leaves the caisson and enters either the pumps for the Willamette River Water Treatment Plant or the Willamette Water Supply System, which will be pumped ot the Willamette Water Supply System Water Treatment Plant.
