Medford Irrigation
Flume Breaks Monday
Water in the main canal sup
plying the Medford and Rogue
Valley irrigation districts was
halted temporarily Monday by a
break in the Lake Creek flume,
according to Jack Hoffbuhr,
manager of the Medford district.
The water was turned out at
5:30 a.m. Monday. Repairs were
completed in about four hours
and the water was turned in
again.
The Lake Creek flume is sup-
Dorted by a wooden substruc
ture where the break occurred.
It is 30 years old and must soon
be replaced, Hoffbuhr said. This
is the third delay caused by the
flume this season.
