Portland approves both water ballot measures in Tuesday’s special election
Tuesday’s special election saw Portland vote overwhelmingly for two measures related to the city’s prized drinking water. The first, Ballot Measure 26-204, will safeguard the region’s main drinking water supply by enshrining its current protections in the city charter. … Portlanders also voted in favor of Measure 26-205 Tuesday night, which allows the city’s water bureau to use its own money to enter into “mutual aid agreements.”
