Eugene Water & Electric Board
Removing debris plug from Leaburg Dam(January 2011)
EWEB crews cleared large clump of logs, root wads and other
debris that blocked the Leaburg Dam's No. 1 roll gate following
heavy rains in mid-January.
The debris, including logs measuring more than 100 feet in length,
started gathering against the roll gate following heavy rains,
unseasonably warm temperatures and rapid mountain snowmelt.
Working with Eugene-based construction contractor Wildish Co.,
EWEB brought in an excavator with an extended-reach arm to
dislodge the debris blocking the gate.
Customers visited EWEB’s booth to talk with energy management
specialists about how to save money and energy in their homes.

Energy efficient lighting was one of the many topics EWEB staff
members discussed with visitors.

Opening of Chris Jordan’s “Running the Numbers” exhibition(January 2011)
The JSMA is one of three art museums in the U.S. testing LED lighting in
gallery spaces thanks to a partnership of the U.S. Department of Energy’s
Gateway Program, EWEB and the Bonneville Power Administration. The
LED lighting made its debut at the opening of the Chris Jordan exhibition,
which deals with consumption and conservation themes.
EWEB and the Oregon
Department of Transportation
teamed up to relocate an
osprey nest to a new platform
on top of a 120-foot pole.
Relocating an osprey nest(February 2011)
By moving the nest to a safer location, the ospreys should stay
away from dangerous lighting towers and high-voltage electric
transmission lines.
March 11 marked the 100th
anniversary of the first meeting
of the Eugene Water Board.
