Regional Water Providers Consortium

Regional Water Providers Consortium Logo

The City of Tualatin along with 23 other water providers are part of the Regional Water Providers Consortium (RWPC). The Regional Water Providers Consortium serves as a collaborative and coordinating organization to improve the planning and management of municipal water supplies in the greater Portland, Oregon metropolitan region. 

The Consortium’s work is divided into the following three categories: conservation, emergency preparedness, and regional coordination. By working collaboratively, the Consortium and its members achieve economies of scale by implementing regional programs that save customers money.

Emergency Preparedness Program

The Emergency Preparedness program supports Consortium members in their own emergency preparedness efforts, provides an opportunity for members to train together, cultivates partnerships, and provides outreach to the public. Members share their experiences, knowledge, and technical information with each other to collectively make the region stronger and more resilient.

Conservation Program

The Consortium is recognized as a valuable partner in the region's water conservation efforts. The conservation program helps the region use its water resources more efficiently, provides tools to the public, and allows providers to deliver a consistent regional message about the importance of water.

Regional Coordination

The Consortium is built on partnerships and provides a forum for members to work together on projects of mutual interest. This enables the group to speak with one voice on policy and program matters, and to achieve economies of scale, saving members money. Projects in the regional coordination portfolio provide opportunities to collaborate, develop regional tools, and provide consistent information to Consortium members and the public.
