The Board
There are five members on the Board of Water Commissioners who volunteer to serve five-year overlapping terms. Each year a board member is appointed or re-appointed to the Commission by the Mayor and that appointment is approved by the City Council. The sole responsibility of the Board of Water Commissioners is the operation of the community's water system. Medford Water functions independently from other City of Medford operations.
Board meetings, which are open to the public, are held twice monthly, on the first and third Wednesdays unless otherwise scheduled. The meetings are generally held* in the Medford Police Department's Prescott Room, at approximately 12:15 p.m. unless otherwise stated (+/-; shall begin at the conclusion of the study session). Location and time may vary; please refer to the meeting agenda for current location and time details. There is an opportunity for public comment at every meeting.
Meeting agendas are posted on the website when available, and meeting minutes are posted following approval. Please call the Administration office at 541-774-2440 or email water@medfordwater.org if you would like more information about board meetings or to contact board members. If you would like to apply to be a commissioner, please contact the Medford City Manager's office.
