Oregon Experience: Bull Run
Mt. Tabor Reservoirs
Portland's Bull Run water system originally included four reservoirs within the city. But within little more than a decade, local demand for water exceeded the system's storage capacity. In the years 1909-1911, the Water Bureau built two more reservoirs on Southeast Portland’s Mt. Tabor.
