Portland General Electric (PGE) and the City of Milwaukie recently announced plans to partner on the addition of a new Electric Avenue charging hub in the heart of downtown by the end of this year. 

The new charging hub is part of PGE’s Transportation Electrification plan that is designed to advance Oregon’s transition to a clean energy future with new electric transportation options for car owners and mass transit riders.

Milwaukie's signature events bring long-time residents and newcomers together to enjoy each other’s company and celebrate what makes the city unique. The city hosts the following signature events each year:

A true tiny house is defined by the International Residential Code (IRC, adopted by the State of Oregon for tiny houses) as: “A dwelling that is 400 square feet or less in floor area excluding lofts”. 

Any dwelling structure over 400 square feet is considered a regular dwelling and must meet the current Oregon Residential Specialty Code. The tiny house information/code won’t apply to these projects.

Wondering what needs a permit and what doesn’t? Confused about which permit to apply for?  Check below for answers to those questions and more.

Permits are an important part of construction because they’re essentially a second set of eyes. The process allows for a chance to catch things before construction starts to save you money in the long run, and ensure the person you’ve hired is doing the work correctly. Knowing the job is done right gives you peace of mind. It’s important to do everything possible to ensure the safety of family and friends in your home, or employees and customers in your business. Homes and businesses are an investment, protect it.

Hard water can be a soap scum and plumbing-fixture nuisance, it’s not dangerous. Calcium and magnesium are essential nutrients that don’t pose a public health hazard.

The white or brown build up around the faucet is calcium carbonate and small amount of other metals such as magnesium. The whiter it is the more calcium, the browner the more metals from other dissolved metals.

Water is a good solvent and as it travels through the ground it dissolves the natural occurring calcium. The calcium (hardness) is not a health hazard and is not deemed a contaminant.

The applicant is seeking approval of an extension to land use approvals for a Minor Land Partition and Replat applications.
