Portland raises Bull Run project cost to $2.56B, seeks 24-month delay due to permits, weather, and construction issues.
Portland has raised the cost of the Bull Run Filtration Project to $2.56 billion, a $450 million increase due to delays in land use permitting, despite the Land Use Board of Appeals upholding the project’s permits.
The city is seeking a 24-month extension to the September 2027 deadline to address construction delays, site conditions, and weather disruptions.
The project, which includes a new filtration facility and pipelines, will be Oregon’s largest and enhance water resilience against earthquakes, wildfires, and storms.
Officials emphasize its importance for public health and long-term safety.
To manage costs, the city has implemented value engineering, increased on-site staffing, secured two WIFIA loans, and is pursuing grants.
Financing strategies, including potential rate adjustments for 2026–27, will be reviewed with public input before final decisions in May.
