I am so excited to announce that the Portland Water Bureau has proudly unveiled a new brochure on Portland's iconic Benson Bubblers, this week.
Portland's Benson Bubblers -An Icon. A Legacy., includes information about the history and conservation efforts associated with the Bubblers, as well as a map of their downtown locations. It is a beautiful piece, rich with photographs and illustrations.
You can either download a PDF version here or call (503) 823-7510 and ask to have a copy mailed to you.

I had no idea there were so many Benson Bubblers around Portland. Okay. Gotta know: How often do you guys clean 'em???
According to the pdf, they are cleaned "bi-monthly".
Thanks, Chris. Somehow I looked right over that info.
Somehow=skimming, rather than reading. Bad!!!
They are indeed cleaned every other week.
I would love to see an explanation of how they work! I expected there to be a wikipedia article on them too, someone at the Water Bureau should write one!
