That the development of the Cow-Creek project «of
8
water diversion offers the only real and permanent solu­ 8
tion of Ashland’s water supply problem is the idea con­ 8
veyed in«the report of Stuart McKissiek, engineer who 8
made a complete survey of the Ashland Canyon possibili­ 8
8
ties and recently completed a survey of the Cow Creek 8
possibilities.
8
McKissick’s report of the Canyon possibilities show- 8
, ed the city to be without any possible chance of obtain­ 8 8
ing a really adequate supply from that source. Every 8
available dam site was surveyed and contoured, and the 8
storage capacity of various types and sizes of dams com­ 8
puted. It was shown that little could be done in utiliz­ 8 8 8 8 8 8 8 8 8 8 8 8 8
ing the canyon water for use in the city.
The Cow Creek project includes the diversion of the
tributaries ot that stream, by means of a pipe line and
tunnel, and adding to the water flow of Ashland Creek,
thus doubling the present flow of that stream. The data
secured by McKissiek during his survey of this project,
show that this project would completely solve the water
problems of the city for all time to come.
In making the survey of the Cow Creek possibilities,
the party headed by McKissiek made careful pieasure- Resided in This Section

Since 1863. Moved to

could have to be diverted. This data is now in the hands
