SECTION D PAGES 1 to 8 Mcdford, Ore., Sun., Au. IK, 1BR3 Water Department Manager Pleased With New Main Medford Water Depart ment Manager Robert Lee has stated he is "very pleased" with the results ob tained from the new 24-inch south feeder main, which was placed in service Aug. 1. Since its installation, the system has been thoroughly checked at various locations and under varying con ditions. "The most dramatic bene fit has been noted in the southwestern part of Med ford," Lee said, "where pres sure drops used to be exces sive during periods of heavy use." As an example, Lee cited a key recording .station, on Stewart ave., where pressure drops as great as 40 pounds were noted before the new main went into service. Lee said the drops now will not exceed 20 pounds. System Interconneciad Lee pointed out that actu ally, since the entire distri bution system in Medford . is interconnected, the new main effects . the . pressure and flow available to the en tire city. "Minimum pressures at the city hall have been increased about five pounds," the wat er department manager not ed, "and the fire flow avail able to the whole distribu tion system has been mate rially increased." A further benefit has been derived, Lee said, in that the new main provides another major link from the east side reservoirs to the western side of the system should a loss of one of the other feeder mains occur, such as happened during the Dec. 2, 1962, flood on Bear creek. Major Improvement The south feeder main, which was constructed under a $243,912.46 contract with Snelson Plumbing and Heat ing company of Sedro-Wool-ley. Wash., is part of a ma jor improvement program to the city's entire distribution system. As part of the program, a 10-million gallon reservoir is planned for construction in the vicinity of South Stage rd. and Dark Hollow rd. Work on the reservoir is scheduled to begin in 1965, Lee said. - . Because of the irregular shape of the city's bounda ries, a considerable portion of the new main was con structed outside of the pres ent city limits. Lee said he has received Inquiries from a number of people who contemplate construction of residences in the vicinity of the new main and who would hope to get service from it. "The water department wishes to make it clear," Lee said, "that service from the new main, either to new residences or to existing resi dences, is not available out side the city limits of Medford." 2,994 Cases Are Checked by Police Medford police investigated 2,994 cases during July, clear ing 2.855 for 96.4 per cent, according to the monthly re port from the department. This is an increase over .Tuly, 1962, when the depart ment investigated 2,717 cases of which 97.3 per cent were cleared. Of the cases checked by city police, 149 were major offenses. They included 27 burglaries, 26 cases of larceny involving amounts over $50, R9 cases of larceny under $50 and seven cases of auto theft.
