Ensuring No Lead Water Pipes are in Clatskanie

November 2024

In 2023, the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency directed all cities in the U.S. to conduct a lead line inventory of its water systems. The City of Clatskanie completed the initial Service Line Inventory this year, which included the material identification of city-owned and privately owned service lines. A service line is the pipe that carries water from the City’s water main in the street to your home or building. This inventory informs Clatskanie water customers and health agencies about service line materials and demonstrates that no lead service lines are present in the water system. Download more information below.

If you have any questionso please contact City Hall during regular business hours at 503-728-2622 or you may email the City of Clatskanie Public Works Director Dave Minor at dminor@cityofclatskanie.com

Leadline Inventory Statement

Clatskanie has been described as a “Norman Rockwell” picturesque small city nestled in green hills and valleys on the coastal range in northwest Oregon.  Our population within the city limits is approximately 1,800, but we consider the community outside those limits to be a valuable asset as well.

Clatskanie is a strong, independent community with small town values and support.  Some good examples of this strength are:

·       In the early 1960's, the community recognized a need for a swimming pool.  There had been four youths taken in tragic drownings that summer in the rivers.  This community pulled together, raised funds, and through volunteer efforts built a safe and well maintained community pool.

·         Several years ago, the community decided it needed a new library.  Again with local donations and volunteer labor a wonderful library is available.

Clatskanie sponsors a wonderful 4^th of July Heritages Days celebration that dates back over 100 years.  

Clatskanie also has over 70 miles of wonderful calm water in the Clatskanie River and adjacent sloughs for kayaking.  Our city park has a walking trail and is a jewel in the center of our city.

These are just a few examples of the strength, purpose and desirability of our community.  Please visit us if you are in the vicinity.  We would love to meet you.
