Located in Chautauqua County, New York along the shores of Lake Erie and rising 1000 feet to the Chautauqua Escarpment, Portland remains a rural township. Outside of the Village of Brocton, the Town is largely dominated by farmlands, woods and low density residential land uses, and its defining features are the many vineyards dotting the landscape.

The Town of Portland has accepted the bid from J.D. Northrup for the construction of the new water service along Highland Ave., Webster and Ellicott Road. Work will begin this fall; the contactor will be charging the lines as they are installed so residents can hookup as the project moves along. Work will begin on Highland Ave. We will keep you posted on water applications and the cost of meter pits as the project moves forward.
