The City of Sandy is addressing critical challenges with its aging drinking water infrastructure through the Sandy Drinking Water Reinvestment Program (SDWRP) to better serve the City’s approximately 13,000 residents. This long-term effort aims to ensure a reliable water supply, address redundancy concerns, and meet federal regulations. Key aspects include upgrading infrastructure like the Alder Creek Water Treatment Plant (WTP) and the Portland to Sandy Water Filtration Plant Transmission System, focusing on providing safe water for residents and businesses. The SDWRP also aims to enhance system redundancy, improve resilience against natural disasters, comply with federal mandates like cryptosporidium treatment, and manage costs while maximizing city-owned water sources like Alder Creek and Brownell Springs.

Along with improvements to the City’s drinking water infrastructure, the City is installing fiber optic cabling at three of the City’s sites which include the Alder Creek WTP, Terra Fern Reservoir, and the Sandercock Reservoir to extend broadband service from SandyNet as growth of Sandy and its surrounding community have created higher demands for rural broadband service. Design was completed by Tremark, LLC dba K&B Technical Solutions (K&B).
