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.
