Public Records Request

A Public Records Request is for information that is not available on the Oregon Water Resources Department website, published in an WRD document, or on the State of Oregon’s Transparency Website and Open Data Portal. For example, if you are looking for a well report, those can be found on our Well Report Query webpage. Certain types of public records are exempt by law from being released and are listed under ORS 192.501.
