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.

ment investigated 2,717 cases
of which 97.3 per cent were
cleared.

city police, 149 were major
