Learn About Building Inspections
Join our City building inspectors at the Gresham Farmers’ Market to view our model home and discuss how building codes and permits safeguard public safety.
The small scale home offers residents a chance to peek inside the walls and under the floorboards of a typical home to see hidden piping, electrical and other systems. Market visitors will also be able to learn more about when and why building codes and inspections are required for safety.

Every Drop Counts: Simple Steps Save Water and Money During Fix-a-Leak Week and Beyond
![]() |
Water. Save a Little. Help a Lot!Regional Water Providers Consortium offers free indoor water saving kits. |
Many of us have ignored the sound of a trickling stream coming from our toilet, or maybe we’ve chosen to overlook those small, slow drips from a bathroom faucet or kitchen sink.
After all, how much water do they really waste?
According to the EPA, more than 1 trillion gallons of water leak every year in homes across the U.S. That’s enough water to sustain the population of Los Angeles, Chicago and Miami combined each year. It’s also estimated that leaks in almost 10 percent of American homes drip away nearly 90 gallons of water a day. In the greater Portland metro area, that can mean about $100 in water charges literally going down the drain each year.
Many of these leaks occur in old fixtures, such as leaky toilets, faucets and showerheads. Fix these drips and you'll be amazed at how much water and money you can save.
