Eugene -Springfield Area Natural Hazards Mitigation Plan 5. Annexes General Plant° $158,027,521 Telecommunications $19,452,088 Completed Construction, not yet classified $16,979,283 Construction Work in Progress $16,972,396 TOTAL: $803,727,634 Source: EWEB Current and Anticipated Service Trends Studies commissioned by the City of Eugene estimate the area's population will grow by 34,000 people by 2031, or by an average annual rate of 1.4 percent. However, unless a large industrial facility locates in our service territory, electric consumption trends are expected to stay relatively flat, with most new customers served through existing facilities and energy resources. This is due to higher energy efficient buildings and equipment, use of natural gas for heating and industrial uses, and the on -going success of utility energy conservation programs. A.1.3 Water System EWEB provides treated drinking water to 61,000 residential, commercial, industrial, and public sector customers within its Eugene service territory. EWEB also supplies wholesale water to the River Road and Santa Clara water districts in unincorporated North Eugene and has wholesale water contracts with the City of Veneta and the Willamette Water Company. The water utility maintains three water rights for drinking water at a single point of delivery on the McKenzie River. EWEB efforts to diversify water supply sources include a groundwater permit issued in 2008 and a surface water registration and permit issued on the Willamette River. Water permits will not be certificated until a sufficient volume of water from these sources is distributed for municipal use. Raw water is collected via two river intake structures located at Hayden Bridge in Springfield and delivered to a nearby treatment plant. The water treatment plant pre - treats, filters, and treats the raw water for consumption. Two large transmission lines in a seven -mile long corridor bring treated water to the Eugene city limits. From there, transmission and distribution pipelines deliver water to customers. EWEB operates three primary baseline reservoirs to store water, and a number of smaller reservoirs at upper elevations. Pressure to deliver the water is controlled largely from the filtration plant which is capable of serving approximately 85 percent of EWEB Includes electric utility portion of fleet and administration/operational buildings. 5-9 January 2020
