ENGINEER’S REPORT
As was promised last week, the complete report
of the consulting engineer on the municipal water
projct, is being started today. Mr. Dillard furnished
the mayor and members of the council with an ex
haustive typewritten report of his findings and re
commendations.
Following is the first installment:
“ Mayor and Council,
“ Ashland, Oregon.
‘‘Gentlemen:
“ The following is a brief report on the work
done and conclusion drawn on the best step to he
taken by yourselves to increase the domestic water
supply of your city. The time in which to make the
investigation has been so short that much detail has
l»een impossible, and this report is by no means in
clusive of all possibilities of increasing your domes
tic witter supply.
“ We are advised by your water superintendent
that the. flow of Ashland Creek was sufficient for
all your needs up to May 25th, at which time the
flow was (» second feet. At this time use of the supply
purchased from the Talent Irrigation District began
and continued until August 4th, a total of 400 acre-
feet being obtained from this source.
Due to the shortage of all water supplies in this
state this year, your pro rata share of the amount
of water pnrehased from the Talent Irrigation Dis
trict was 400 acre-feet. When the Talent supply fail
ed on August 4th, you had a flow of three and a half
second feet in Ashland Creek.
“ It was then necessary to restrict the use of
water for irrigation to one and a half hours per week
for each flat rate -user. On August 1.3th the flow of
Ashland Creek had so fallen off that it was necessary
to further restrict the use of water for irrigation to
one hour per week to all water users.
*
“ The average flow of Ashland Creek during
August ^ as 3.8 second feet and 3.7 second feet dur
ing September. After August 13th only one honr per
week was allowed for irrigation, the average use
then being about 3 second feet or 1,939,000 gallons
daily use.
“ Mr. C. A. Malone in his report of,date of Sept.
21, 1926, estimates the population of Ashland to be
approximately 6000 people. On this assumption the
per capita daily use then was 325 gallons. Compare
this use to that of Medford. The amount of water
delivered at the city reservoirs of Medford is ap
proximately 4,000,000 gallons daily. The population
of Medford is conservatively estimated at 10,000, or
a daily per. capita use of 400 gallons.* In the high
pressure area of Medford, irrigation was allowed
during the irrigation season of 1926 for 21 hours each
week with the result that the lawns and gardens came
through the season in excellent condition.
“ After eliminating orchard irrigation in Ash
land, your water use then is fairly comparable to that
of Medford. Medford with a daily per capita usfc of
400 gallons, goes through the summer in good shape,
maintaining, her lawns and gardens, while Ashland
with a daily per capita supply of 325 gallons, can
only allow one hour per week for irrigation and con
sequently dried up lawns and gardens. t It is very
evident that there is a large amount of water wasted
in some manner.
