Are you passionate about the vital role public utilities play in our community?

Springfield Utility Board (SUB) is seeking candidates to fill a vacancy on our Board of Directors, Position 3, with a term expiring December 31, 2026. To be eligible, candidates must be registered voters who have been residents of the City of Springfield for at least one year prior to appointment. Candidates must also be prepared to seek election for the balance of the unexpired term in the November 2026 General Election.

The five-member elected Board is SUB’s governing body and sets policy for the utility. More information about Board duties and responsibilities, as well as how to apply, can be found at SUB’s website.

Applications may be submitted by email to [email protected], dropped off at SUB’s main office at 250 A Street in Springfield, or mailed to: SUB, ATTN: General Manager, PO Box 300, Springfield, OR 97477.

We had a great time meeting Springfield students for Public Works Week with the city! Thanks for inviting us and to everyone who visited with our team!

All SUB offices will be closed on Monday, May 25th, 2026 in observance of Memorial Day. Normal office hours will resume on Tuesday, May 26th, 2026.

Online and drop-box payments will still be available, in-person payments will resume on Tuesday, May 26th, 2026.

Preparation and collaboration matter! One example: last week, an incident involving a tanker carrying thousands of gallons of milk resulted in milk and diesel fuel spilling into the McKenzie River. Eugene Water & Electric Board called on a team of emergency responders, including SUB water crews, to help contain the spill and limit damage to the river and wildlife.

Coordinated responses like this happen thanks to many hours of training and hands-on practice. In this case, EWEB’s annual, multi-agency “spill drill” training ensures local responders can deploy quickly and work together seamlessly when incidents occur. SUB crews have participated in these trainings for years and were ready when needed. Thanks to EWEB for their proactive leadership and partnership, and to our SUB crews for helping protect one of our region’s most vital resources.
