City Offers Free Sand and Sandbags to Residents

When ice and snow melt quickly over a short period of time, there is the potential for localized flooding that results from blocked storm drains.

To help prevent flooding and mitigate its effects, the City provides a free sandbag station for residents. Free sand and sandbags are provided; residents must bring their own shovels to fill sandbags.

The City's free sandbag station is located in the northwest corner of the public parking lot at the Wilsonville Transit Center/WES Station (9699 SW Barber St.). 

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

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