The South. Fork Spring has a decided advantage
in that the water supplied will probably always be
pure and free from contamination, will be dear and
contain no silt or vegetable matter, and should be

supply,
however, cannot
cannot-be increas*
ed when the city grows beyond it. Also the construc
tion planned would certainly outlast the bond issue,
but in time the pipe lines would have to be renewed.
The Ashland Canyon program lends itself to de
velopments in units as the city growth, and much of
the proposed construction js permanent. Also the
construction of a third dam would provide a supply
for a few thousand people in excess of 15,000. The
city already has permanent control of the Ashland-
Creek watershed, so the maintenance would be mofe
simple and easy. And again if the weather cycle
swings back toward the wet years as we fully expect,
it might be 40 years before the second dam is required,
depending of course upon the growth of the city.
Stored water, is never so well suited for a do
mestic supply as spring water, nor can the tempera
ture of the Ashland Canyon supply be kept as low as *
that from the South Fork Spring.' It is thought that
stored-water in Ashland Canyon can be kept free from
the objections that now exist against the water stored
in Fish I^ake and Hyatt Prairie provinces.
An estimate of the cost of the Ashland Canyon
development is as follows:

This report is based on providing a supply of
water for domestic use which eventually should care
for a population of 15,000 people, supplemented by
water purchased and to be purchased from the Talent
Irrigation District, which will oare for all water
rights on Ashland Creek prior to those of the city,
and provide for a limited amount of acreage irriga
tion within the city limits.
In order to accomplish the above requirements
it is considered essential that your present and future
domestic supply be conserved in all possible ways,
certain of which should be: the reduction of your
present high pressure by constructing regulating
reservoirs and improvements to the distribution
system; the elimination of waste by more general use
of meters; the purchase and use of all irrigation water
obtainable which can be used to take the place of,
and thereby save for domestic use, the waters of Ash
land Creek.
*
All things considered, we believe the develop
ment of Ashland Creek water is a little more desir
able than South Fork Spring. This, however, will
depend upon the council’s judgment as to the future
growth of the city.
