Review of Eugene Water & Electric Board ...

I have lived in multiple states, cities, and countries. I can honestly say that EWEB has got to be the worlds worst utility. Their customer service has got to be the worst I have ever encountered. Their billing rates are always going up, and there is absolutely no accountability for poor decisions I.E. the Seneca deal. If the people at EWEB who made that deal were in the Private sector they would be fired that day for incompetence. There is only one way to fix the gross negligence of EWEB and the board. That is to privatize it and have the private company report to the states utilize board. If it was privatized the Eugene tax payers wouldn't have to fork over the bill for stupid decisions like the Seneca deal. The private firm would have to cover that cost out of pocket since the rates will be fixed and increases would need approval. Then again a private company would be smart enough to never sign that deal in the first place.
