We think the public should be aware of the expensive, risky, and unnecessary project being pushed by Lane County government before it's too late to weigh in.
In recent months, we've done our best to keep you informed about the County's risky $150+ million IMERF project, a project that will directly impact all Lane County citizens, and EPUD customers in particular. Get more information about the situation, including video and audio files.
THIS PROJECT WILL RAISE YOUR GARBAGE AND ELECTRIC RATES AT A TIME WHEN THE COST OF LIVING IS ALREADY A MAJOR CONCERN.
On Tuesday, June 25, the County will hold a private, non-public meeting to discuss its contract with Bulk Handling Systems. We're making one more ask of our customers to help us protect Lane County citizens from the financial impact this project will cause.
Please consider signing the petition at the link below that askes the County to change course on the IMERF and instead double down on the longstanding partnership with EPUD at the Short Mountain landfill.
