Thompson Road closures coming up

If Thompson Road is part of your normal route, you may want to find a temporary alternate. Tualatin Valley Water District is constructing a new pump station on the Thompson Reservoir site on Thompson Rd., east of Saltzman and the project is entering a phase that will include road closures.

Construction of the two transmission lines and the pump station will require some local-traffic-only road closures in the area. Thompson Rd. in front of Findley Elementary School will remain open while school is in session. However, it will be closed in front of the school during spring break (March 23-31).

When complete, the pump station will improve the reliability of the water supply to portions of the West Hills within the District's service area. The Thompson Road Pump Station will move water from a lower elevation to a higher elevation. Once the water is pumped to a reservoir at a higher elevation, gravity is then used to maintain pressure and deliver water to customers. It will also provide a second way to pump water to the District's fourth-largest pressure zone, which includes St. Vincent Hospital.

Visit the TVWD website for current information on the project and traffic impacts. Remember to slow down and be alert in work zones. We appreciate your patience as we work to provide you high quality, reliable water.
