Municipal Plant Secures City Electric Utility Victory
Eugene’s fight to take control of water and electric services ended in a successful municipal operation. The electric plant now finances its bonds, covers running costs, and funds a sinking fund, with over 1200 customers by late 1912. The program began after hydrating water issues and epidemics, leading to a bond vote for 300000 and creation of a nonremunerated water board. Mayor Matlock defended the project amid fierce opposition, securing a site at Walterville for power generation on the McKenzie River.
