Portland: burst pipe, broken main, or frozen line
Broken pipe and you need the city to shut off water
Portland Water Bureau runs a 24/7 emergency line at 503-823-4874. That covers main breaks, leaking hydrants, sudden loss of water, and temporary shutoffs when a pipe breaks at your property. (Portland Water Bureau — Report a water service problem)
Low pressure or odd-tasting water
Portland Water Bureau’s Water Quality Line is 503-823-7525, Monday–Friday 8:30 a.m.–4:30 p.m. After hours, use the 24/7 line.
Pipe burst after a freeze
Close your main shutoff valve. Then turn off the water heater at the shutoff on its cold-water inlet. Apartment renters may need the property manager to reach the valve.
Oregon licensing
Oregon plumbing contractors need two things: an active Construction Contractors Board license (Oregon Construction Contractors Board license search) and an Oregon Building Codes Division plumbing license (Oregon Building Codes Division — License holder search). Check both. One without the other is not enough for plumbing work.
