The riverfront property holds enormous redevelopment potential, enabling acres of underutilized downtown property along the Willamette River to transition from industrial to a mixed of residential, retail and office uses.
"ShakeAlert" can provide precious seconds of early warning before the severe shaking waves from an earthquake arrive. We are proud to install sensors at our generation facilities, which will trigger automatic shut down of equipment in the event of an earthquake. The system does not yet support public warnings, but this version allows selected early adopters to develop pilot implementations that demonstrate the system’s utility and develop technologies that pave the way for broader use.
In order complete a major powerhouse upgrade, we will close public access to Trail Bridge and Lakes End campgrounds, the Trail Bridge Reservoir boat launch and Smith Reservoir.
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.
