Happy Birthday, Medford Water Commission!
Medford Water Commission turns 97 this year!
Medford Water Commission was established through a change in the city charter on November 7, 1922. In 1925, the sale of $975,000 in bonds was approved to develop the pristine Big Butte Springs water supply and build a pipeline to town (a current value of over $95 million from an estimated 1925 population of 12,000 people).
This commitment by Medford citizens, incurring and paying off a large debt to build a safe and sufficient water supply, continues to benefit our residents today.
We maintain that forward-thinking to ensure facilities are in place before they become necessary, while striving to delay costly infrastructure and sustaining water supplies whenever possible.
