Wilsonville Offers Free Sandbags

Now that the temperature is rising and the snow and ice finally melting, you would think we're out of the woods. Not quite. Heavy rains and warmer weather increases the potential for flooding.

So, Wilsonville is offering sand and sandbags for residents.

All people have to do is head to the Community Garden, located at 7524 SW Schroeder Way, off of Wilsonville Road just east of Memorial Park. Residents need to bring their own shovels to fill the sandbags.

The City is encouraging residents to clear snow, ice and other debris from residential storm drains to prevent the potential for localized flooding or high water. To report problems with flooding or downed trees, the City’s Public Works 24-hour emergency line is toll-free 866-252-3614.

For more information about the free sandbags contact the City’s Public Works Department at 503-682-4092.
