October 19, 2022 — At the October 17, 2022, meeting of the Wilsonville City Council, the Council and the Urban Renewal Agency (URA) Board each approved supplemental budget adjustments. With these actions, the City is able to re-appropriate $6 million from the prior fiscal year to provide funding for ongoing capital projects and make and additional $1.5 million available for previously unanticipated appropriations.
Additionally, the Council approved an intergovernmental agreement (IGA) for an overnight loan between the City of Wilsonville and the URA. This strategic financing arrangement allows the City to save on the expenses associated with outside bonding while making $4 million available to pay for costs associated with the 5th St./Kinsman Rd.

August 3, 2022 — A voluntary water curtailment notice previously issued by the cities of Wilsonville and Sherwood on Saturday, July 30, is no longer in effect. There are no restrictions on water usage in either community.
A water transmission pump at the Willamette River Water Treatment Plant (WRWTP) that failed just after 11:30 pm on Friday, July 29, is now back in operation. Earlier today, a field engineer replaced a short-circuited power component with a new component that was priority-shipped to the Plant this week.
“We appreciate the considerable efforts taken by Wilsonville and Sherwood to conserve water, and the quick work by Veolia’s staff at the Water Treatment Plant to bring the system back to full-service capacity,” said Jeanna Troha, Wilsonville’s Acting City Manager.

July 30, 2022 — The overnight failure of a water pump at the Willamette River Water Treatment Plant (WRWTP) -- which provides potable water to the cities of Wilsonville and Sherwood –- has temporarily reduced the Plant’s ability to effectively pump a high-demand volume of treated water to customers.
In order to ensure that every community member maintains a sufficient supply of water to meet their most critical needs, the Cities of Wilsonville and Sherwood are issuing a voluntary Water Curtailment Notice. Customers in both cities are being asked to voluntarily suspend non-essential high-water usage activities (including outdoor irrigation, washing cars, etc.)
