Quote from Clean Water Services CEO Diane Taniguchi-Dennis reads: "Clean Water Services appreciates Congresswoman Bonamici, Senator Wyden and Senator Merkley for their support and effort to advance the Western Washington County Inflow and Infiltration Rehabilitation project. This funding is critical as it will enable the replacement of aging sanitary infrastructure in the city of Forest Grove, providing important water quality, public health and community benefits for the ratepayers of Forest Grove, Cornelius and Gaston.”
