Leaburg Dam LEABURG: $3 million in successful repair work at Leaburg Dam was completed this week. Following more testing, the Eugene Water & Electric Board plans to refill the lake behind the dam soon. One of the structure’s three circular roll gates broke in 2012. A second failed last month. The utility locked the remaining gate in an open position, which caused the reservoir to drain. Low water gave repair crews access the mechanisms. The drawdown caused both the Leaburg Trout Hatchery and the McKenzie Salmon Hatchery to truck thousands of f...

Engineers investigate Leaburg Dam gate problem Eugene Water & Electric Board engineers and operations personnel are looking into why one of three roll gates at Leaburg Dam stopped working on Tuesday, Dec. 23. The unexpected shutdown of the gate is the second to fail in the past three years. The middle roll gate experienced a failure in January 2012 and is currently being repaired at the 73-year-old hydroelectric facility on the McKenzie River. The three 16-feet-tall by 100-feet-wide gates regulate the volume of water spilled from the dam on the...
Flying toilet Modular restroom swings into Hendricks Wayside WALTERVILLE: Passersby may have been surprised last week if they noticed a big crane set up in the parking area at the Hendricks Bridge Wayside Park.

The work involved workers from Lane County Parks who tore down an old building and constructed a new restroom facility, along with replacing sidewalks at the popular site. The project, in cooperation with the Oregon State Marine Board, was...
