Records Request Form

This form is used to process public record requests in accordance with ORS 192. Please provide as much information as possible in the description to assist Clean Water Services (CWS) in locating the records you are requesting. The first 20 minutes of file/records search time will be at no charge. If the search takes longer than 20 minutes, CWS may charge fees reasonably calculated to reimburse CWS for its actual costs in summarizing, compiling, and tailoring the public records to meet the request, and for attorney time spent reviewing the records and removing or redacting any exempt materials. CWS staff will send the requestor an invoice for the estimated time to complete the request. Payment must be made in advance of completion of the request. If the actual time to complete the request is less than the estimate, the difference will be refunded to the requestor. Requests for waiver of these fees pursuant to ORS 192.324(5) will be considered on a case-by-case basis, and determined solely in the discretion of the Public Records Officer and Legal and Chief Compliance Officer.
