Start or stop service

You can start or stop service anytime online, or you can call Customer Service at (541) 685-7000 from 9 a.m. to 5:30 p.m. on Monday through Friday, excluding holidays.

Starting service

If you call EWEB to sign up for services, there is a $15 account processing charge and your service can be turned on as soon as the next business day. Requests for same-day service and service connected after hours are $75.

We read the meter when the service is started in your name. If the meter already has been read within the previous couple of days, we use that reading.

Service deposits

We may require a service deposit from any customer. The deposit is based on twice the highest historical bill for the service location. We hold residential deposits until 12 consecutive billings have been paid on time, or until you request that your services be stopped, whichever comes first. A good payment history helps you avoid a deposit.

All EWEB billings are monthly, except for your opening and closing bills, which may be prorated. Utility service is sold on credit: you use the service before you pay for it.

Note to rental property owners

Rental property owners can request an "automatic hookup agreement" to keep the power on between occupants. For more information, call Customer Service at (541) 685-7000 during regular business hours.

Stopping service

We will need three business days to process your "stop" order and provide a closing bill. Because you are responsible for paying until the date of notification, using our online services or calling us could save you from paying for someone else's usage.
