Experience in Portland, Ore., with old open storage reservoirs as well as a variety of covered storage facilities has evolved into a routine cleaning, maintenance, and protective program. Storage of chlorinated water in the open reservoirs in Portland's system requires periodic cleaning to prevent water quality deterioration, and protection of these reservoirs from the public is also important. The Portland Water Board has significantly extended the useful life of the aging facilities with these procedures.
