The Facts
dt&Ottt tAc
Water Bond Election
to be held February 24,1948
TOTAL BONI) ISSU E ......................................$400,000.00
DETAILS OF BONDS:
Interest rate
lowest that can be obtained, estimated at 3 per cent.
M a turity— or due date— twenty years.
Callable— at any time after five years.
Payable— from water revenues and general taxation.
How sold— on open bid, for the lowest interest rate obtainable.
PURPOSE OF ISSUE:
Funds derived from sale of bonds w ill be used as follows:
(a) Io construct a water filtra tio n plant in Ashland Creek canyon w ith 6
m illion gallon per day capacity; Cost $270,000.00 W ill provide clear, palat­
able water at all times.
(b ) Io construct a new 2 million gallon covered reservoir in lower Ashland
canyon; cost $70,000.00. This, w ith present Crowson H iii reservoir w-ill give
fire protection, plus equalization o f pressure.
(c) Io construct two -new covered reservoirs o f 500,000 gallons capacity each
at intermediate elevations to reduce execessive water pressures. Cost $40,000.00.
(d ) To purchase new 24" jiip e to complete 24" pipe line to Crowson H ill
reservoir. Cost $20,000.00.
WHO WILL DO THE WORK:
Contracts w ill be let to lowest bidder.
WHEN WILL WORK BE COMMENCED:
As soon as satisfactory bids can be obtained.
Other Statements Having Indirect
Bearing on W ater Bond Issue
METERS:
Meters are being installed as rapidly as possible. Entire c ity w ill be metered 100
per cent in year 1948. This, it is estimated, combined w ith reduction o f pres­
sures, w ill result in saving of 40 per cent in consumption o f water, by eliminating
waste. It should be mentioned tha tthe installation of the filtra tio n plant is es­
sential to proper operation o f meters. Each meter has a fine screen, which becomes
clogged if water is filled w ith particles, and it can be seen that it would be
impractical to clean over 2000 meters every time we had a severe storm.
PURITY OF WATER:
Water tests have been made of Ashland’s water supply at regular intervals, reser­
voirs have been cleaned regularly. Purity has been unquestioned except during
floods such as we have recently experienced. Filtration plant would give clear water
under every condition, floods or otherwise.
ELECTRIC POWER
No promises are being made, but possibilities are being studied, w ith reference to
securing more electric power from c ity water supply.
ENGINEERS:
A MODERN FA AM
needs a MODERN ROME!
Your home deserves to he as modern as the equipment on
your farm. If your home needs painting, a new roof, or an
additional room, you can make these improvements now.
With a Thrifty-Pay loan, you have as long as three years
to pay, with no down payment needed.
Your building supply dealer will arrange a Thrifty-Pay
loan for you. Or see your nearest branch of the First
National Bank.

There appears to be no possibility of obtaining Medford water. O ur share in a new
Medford pipe line would be beyond our means, and also, the pumping expense
would be a constant and never ending expense. Medford believes that it must
take care of the communities surrounding it before taking on a further load.
NEW LARGE STORAGE RESERVOIR:
N ot recommended by engineers u n til c ity reaches population of 10,000.
WATER SOURCES OTHER THAN
MEDFORD AND ASHLAND CREEK:
(a) Small streams south and southwest o f M t. Ashland. Engineers report cost ex­
cessive, source contaminated, and supply uncertain.
This statement is not intended as an argument either for or a-
gainst the bond. It is merely a statement of fact as the Mayor
and Council have found from their investigations. The ques­
tion is one for the people to decide.

MEDFORD WATER:
(b) Sources north and east o f Ashland. Cost excessive, and supply already taken
under old water rights.
