City of Camas Finance Once Again Awarded with Achievement for Excellence

The City of Camas’ Finance Department has once again been awarded the Government Finance Officers Association’s (GFOA) Certificate of Achievement for Excellence in Financial Reporting for their annual comprehensive financial report for the fiscal year ending December 31, 2024.

According to GFOA, the Certificate of Achievement is the highest form of recognition in the area of governmental accounting and financial reporting.

Well 13 Activated

Attention Camas residents, the City will be activating Well 13, due to the increased demand in the water system. The recent increase in temperatures across the area has required all city wells to be in production.
