EWEB has a long history of safe and responsible dam operations. Our highest priority is protecting and serving the public through diligent inspection, maintenance, and staff training at our hydro projects.
During a water emergency you could be without tap water for at least three days because EWEB must secure the water system before distributing emergency water. You can pre-order up to four emergency water containers to help your household be better prepared.
Wiley Griffon in 1909 purchased a small home on riverfront property near what is now East 4th Ave. and Mill in Eugene, immediately west of our headquarters building. Despite an exclusion clause in Oregon's constitution that made it illegal for African-Americans to settle in the state, Wiley Griffon was a well-known and popular resident.
We're making available an additional $100,000 to help 500 more in need following the cold weather in December and January.
