Show Notes
Portlands Big Pipe system reached full capacity due to heavy rain, causing a combined sewer overflow into the Willamette River. The overflow, which started at 6:26 AM, affects areas downstream of the Ross Island Bridge. City officials advise against water activities for at least forty-eight hours. The Big Pipe Project, completed in 2011, has significantly reduced river pollution, but the rain also aids in building up low snowpack in the mountains. Real-time updates are available on the citys Big Pipe Tracker.
