In 2012 the average annual compensation at EWEB was just under $112,000.00. So in comparison to the community EWEB serves, the staff is wealthy. Also in 2012, when EWEB had approximately 565 employees a comparison with 5 other Oregon utilities of the number of customers per employee showed that EWEB was about 150 employees over staffed. Or for EWEB to get to the average customers per employee of the other 5 utilities, EWEB would need to reduce their staff from 565 to 415.
