i LOCATIOM MAP PROPOSCD WATER SUPPLY OEVCLOPMENT PRESENT TRANSMISSION LINE -------- PROPOSED TRANSMISSION LINE - - PROPOSED MEDFORD WATER SUPPLY DEVELOPMENT Shown above is the route intended for the proposed new water transmission line from Big Butte springs to Medford to increase and safeguard the water supply system. On a special city ballot at tiie primary election Friday. May 19, Medford residents will be asked to vote on a $2,800,000 bond issue for the construction of the aqueduct. The board of water commissioners anticipate that no increase in existing water rates and no tax levies will be necessary to amortize the cost of the development over the 30-year payment period. A dam and reservoir at Willow creek is included in the project to insure the Eagle Point irrigation district its prorata share of the stream flow from supplementary water. The district has a larger priority right from the springs than Medford. After more than two years of study commissioners have determined that Mcdford's increasing population can best be served by a second water line. Commissioners have stressed that present water supply is inadequate and that last summer water use restrictions were necessitated. They sid that more repairs will become necessary for the present pipeline and service interruptions will become more frequent, although the line will last past its previously de termined life expectancy. Danger of depending upon one line and the hazard in case of an aqueduct break have been stressed. KCs Present Quiz Show at Vets' Center Camp White.
