The City operates two groundwater systems - a well field and a springs system.

Our primary source is a sand and gravel aquifer located just south of the Willamette River on property owned by the City of Newberg.

This “raw” water is naturally filtered by the aquifer. It is pumped under the river through the new pipeline installed in 2006 to the Water Treatment facility for further treatment. The seven wells at the aquifer provide Newberg with 94% of its water supply.    

The three springs are located north of the City on the slopes of the Chehalem Mountain. Less than 100 customers are served directly by the springs
