Flies in Woodburn’s water prompt action
Five years after building a treatment plant at each of the city's three wells, Woodburn officials are working on a new system to disinfect the water. The city released a request for proposals on Jan. 11. Woodburn has 110 miles of water mains, some of which are more than 100 years old, Brown said.
