Eugene residents were <br />asked to call 541-682-6000 to report non-emergency winter storm damage such as blocked streets and down trees. <br />More than 500 calls were received. Beginning at 6 p.m. today, people who call 682-6000 will hear a recording that <br />advises them to call 9-1-1 for life-threatening emergencies and to contact Public Works at 541-682-4800 for calls about <br />street, storm drains, parks, trees and other non-emergency storm issues in the city of Eugene. People needing to report <br />a power outage are advised to call EWEB at 541-484-2300. <br /> <br />Thanks, <br />Eric Jones, Public Affairs Manager <br />Eugene Public Works <br />541-682-5523 <br />541-954-2938 (cell) <br />541-682-6826 (fax) <br />www.eugene-or.gov/ <br />1 <br />
