The city does not monitor local streams. Clackamas County and the Department of Environmental Quality are the agencies to contact for stream/river inquiries.

The City’s existing wastewater treatment plant is near capacity, and the pipes that move sewage from homes and businesses to the treatment plant are aging. As pipes age and deteriorate, they can let in rainwater and groundwater, which adds to the wastewater in the system and overwhelms the treatment plant during storm events. When the plant has more incoming wastewater than capacity, it cannot function properly. This can lead to untreated wastewater entering Tickle Creek.
