EWEB led emergency responders in its annual “spill drill” on the McKenzie River on Wednesday, Oct. 15, at the Trail Bridge Campground.
Follow Senior Environmental Specialist David Donahue as he collects water quality samples from throughout the watershed as part of EWEB's early warning system for threats to Eugene's drinking water.
The project resets the floodplain along 1.8 miles of a formerly channelized creek to improve water quality, fish habitat and natural disaster resiliency.
As EWEB and the Pure Water Partners observe the fifth anniversary of the Holiday Farm Fire, we celebrate major milestones in the watershed's recovery and check back in with PWP landowners who still have a lot of work ahead as they continue to rebuild their lives.
