Help for Landowners reducing wildfire fuels, invasive plant species and address erosion issues.
Help for Landowners reducing wildfire fuels, invasive plant species and address erosion issues.Help us keep the McKenzie River clean by protecting land next to the river.
The Pure Water Partners (PWP) Program is an initiative designed to reward landowners in the McKenzie Watershed for protecting their lands along the river and restoring riparian forests. Their good stewardship helps EWEB protect the source of our drinking water, avoiding future water treatment costs. Pure Water Partners also provide technical assistance for landowners who need restoration work on their properties, particularly following the Holiday Farm Fire.

Sign Up for a Property Assessment
We invite McKenzie landowners to sign up for a free property assessment in which we evaluate properties for invasive vegetation, fuels accumulation, potential replanting needs, and erosion issues. You will need to sign an access agreement with EWEB in order to allow project partners to visit your property.
Once the access agreement is signed, the McKenzie Watershed Council or Upper Willamette Soil & Water Conservation District will contact you to schedule a property assessment. Learn more about how to get started with a property assessment from PWP.
