Common Emergencies in Springfield
Springfield conditions: Springfield sits near the confluence of the Willamette River and McKenzie River in Lane County, one of Oregon's most significant flood-risk locations. Both rivers can rise rapidly during atmospheric river events, and the McKenzie River drains a large Cascade Range watershed that generates rapid runoff after rain-on-snow events in winter. Springfield's older residential stock in the Gateway and Thurston areas includes many homes built in the 1960s and 1970s with aging plumbing and drainage systems that require regular maintenance.
- McKenzie River flooding during Cascade snowmelt and rain-on-snow events
- Willamette River high-water flooding in Glenwood and Gateway areas
- Aging 1960s and 1970s plumbing failures in Thurston residential neighborhoods
- Storm drain backups on impervious Gateway District commercial surfaces
