Water Supply Update & Imminent District Shutoff Notice
Anticipated Water Shutoff: As previously projected, water supplies across district reservoirs are nearly exhausted. The district expects to run out of our supply the week of August 3rd.
Reservoir Depletion:
- Fourmile Lake: Fully depleted.
- Fish Lake: Remaining storage is at critical minimum levels and dropping rapidly.
- Emigrant Lake: Storage remains at critical lows, nearing total allocation depletion for the 2026 season.
The Medford Irrigation District thanks all patrons for their patience, coordination, and water conservation efforts during this difficult water supply/drought season. Field crews will manage remaining ditch flows as long as viable before shutting down mainlines.
For operational inquiries or emergency ditch concerns, please contact the district office at (541) 899-9913.
