Flooding Concerns - Groundwater and the Willamette River

Living in a town that has less than 1' of elevation change in all directions, and on the banks of the beautiful Willamette River, exposes Harrisburg to the vagaries of Mother Nature during storm seasons.

If you live in an area of town that is often impacted by higher ground water, or if you live in the northwestern corner of town, you should pay attention to weather warnings that indicate heavy rain for any period of time.  Here are some tips for those of you who live in these areas.

Streets under construction currently in the downtown area are 2nd St., from Moore St. to Smith St., and Smith St., between 1st St. and 2nd St.  City Hall can be accessed from Moore St. and 1st St from the south.  The post office is currently available on Smith until work commences on that block, and is also accessible from the alley way that runs behind it, from 3rd St.    Macy Street, between 3rd & 2nd Streets, is still partially under construction, as is 2nd St, from Macy to Moore St.  The top layer of paving will be added in the future.

City Hall is Closed in honor of Veterans Day.
