Starting in mid-September, an EWEB contractor will begin an environmental clean-up project at the site of a former manufactured gas plant (MGP) located at 701 E. Eighth Ave., near the old steam plant building.
A broken water main at the intersection of East Broadway and Hilyard Street will severely restrict traffic movements at the intersection, meaning morning commuters should avoid the area and seek alternate routes.
As of 8 a.m. Saturday morning, there are just under 2,000 customers who remain without power. This includes a little over 200 in the Eugene area, and about 1,700 in the Mckenzie River Valley. Most of the remaining Eugene-area outages are single homes, which can be extremely labor intensive, particulalry those with accessibility issues, such as backyard service lines with no access for bucket trucks. We will continue to work until every customer is restored.
EWEB and contract crews made substantial progress restoring power to customers Friday, turning the lights back on for more than 1,000 customers.
