Measure 14-55, which prohibits large-scale commercial water bottling companies, passed with what Local Water Alliance called a “landslide” victory — 69 percent of the vote.

Precincts in Hood River and outlying communities, including Odell and Parkdale, passed the water measure, but it failed in Cascade Locks (Precinct 12,) with 58 percent voting “no.”
