ALERT: Material Shortages and Supply Chain Disruptions are Causing Delays
At EWEB we depend on a variety of goods and services to provide safe, reliable, and affordable water and power to customers throughout our community. Ongoing material shortages across the globe are impacting supply chains that provide those goods and services.
EWEB is very concerned about our ability to meet timelines for electric and water construction projects. In particular, we are running severely low on a few types of transformers that are necessary to complete certain projects. Although we don't want to cause alarm, we do think that customers need to prepare accordingly.
If your project is currently in design or close to construction and you have questions around this, please contact the engineering technician assigned to your project. If you are planning a project with EWEB or are currently waiting in the queue for a project and have questions about your situation, contact our Distribution Design Team to discuss how your project may be affected. Call 541-685-7521 or email distributionengineering@eweb.org.
Standards are for reference only. All new extension or modifications require an approved design and a preconstruction meeting with EWEB prior to installation.
