Current Construction Jobs

How much time does it take to maintain 1,918 miles of distribution line spread over 555 square miles in rural Oregon? It’s a full-time job, and EPUD crews are busy every day making sure it gets done. Monday through Friday and sometimes into the weekend, EPUD tree crews work throughout our large district to clear lines, trim dangerous limbs and high-growing brush, and fell leaning trees. All this work is necessary to not only ensure electric service, but also to prevent potential safety hazards.

EPUD line crews are also busy working on projects to increase system reliability and decrease the chance of outages this season.

Currently, we are working on adding another wire along Parsons Creek Road. This will deliver more power to the developing area and split the electric load, minimizing the impact of any outage. Crews also continue line improvement projects in Dexter and will soon begin work along Coburg Road, adding a larger wire to accommodate growth in the area. Additionally, EPUD crews have fixed SIX car-hit poles since the beginning of August 2009.

OTHER PROJECTS:

• Completing the reconductor of Coburg Road, thereby increasing the capacity of the new feeder tie and the amount of available power for Egge.
• Residential & Maintenance Jobs
