Water Bill Assistance Program
The City of Portland Water Bureau serves water to nearly a quarter of all Oregonians. In addition to managing our drinking water, the Water Bureau maintains Portland’s sewer and stormwater systems.
In response to the COVID-19 crisis, the Water Bureau expanded the qualifications for its financial assistance programs. Assistance is available in the form of bill discounts for sewer and water charges, crisis vouchers, payment arrangements, and fixture repair services. These resources are available in Русский (Russian), Español (Spanish), Tiếng Việt (Vietnamese), and 华语（中文）(Chinese).
