The MWMC is proud to be a Presenting Sponsor at the 2026 Re-Imagine Earth Day event on Sunday April 19th from 1-5pm at the Farmer's Market Pavillion in Eugene.

Come by our booth for a fun, all-ages educational game and bring home tools to help keep your pipes and waterways clean. We hope to see you there!

We're thrilled to highlight Carrie Swarts, DPW-ESD Billing Specialist, for our first installment of the Your Water Story series.

"I get daily satisfaction from assisting customers with their sewer and storm water issues. It benefits our community and because of that, our citizens feel valued and heard. I am proud of my water story!"


Carrie's Water Story will go live tomorrow on our social media accounts, sharing her personal connection to keeping our local waterways healthy and clean.

The MWMC's annual budget approval process is moving forward, and the Commission will be voting on the proposed budget at their April meeting.

Following its adoption, the budget will be presented to the Eugene City Council, the Springfield City Council, and the Lane County Board of Commissioners. All three will be asked to approve the budget, and then it can be taken back to the MWMC for appropriation.

What do I do with waste containing mercury?

Mercury must be properly disposed of to keep it from entering our waterways and posing a health risk to plants, animals, and humans.

Coin and button cell batteries, tilt switches, thermostats, fluorescent light tubes, and even some pesticides can contain mercury.
