Land Use Board Of Appeals Favors City Of Portland Bull Run Filtration Project - 02/13/26
The City of Portland is pleased to announce that the Land Use Board of Appeals (LUBA) issued a Final Opinion and Order affirming our land use permits to continue building the Bull Run Filtration Project. We are grateful for LUBA’s careful review and consideration.
The LUBA decision favored the City of Portland, confirming Multnomah County’s reapproval of the permits. This project is critical for public health and the regional economy, which depends on safe and reliable water.
We welcome the news of this decision and will continue to review its land use implications.
Next Thursday, we will hold a media event to share additional updates on the project. A media advisory will be issued early next week.
