The Water Division operates the City's water utility. It performs the repair and preventive maintenance for the water system such as mains, fire hydrants, water meters, pumps, and valves. It continually monitors the water system, provides radio communications for field personnel, and provides information on waterline locations to the general public.
WATER SERVICE LINE INVENTORYThe Oregon Health Authority has mandated all community water systems to inventory water service lines on both the City side and the Home owner side to identify any lead service lines in the distribution system. As of 1986, Oregon law prohibits the use and installation of lead piping, therefore we were only required to inventory service lines older than 1986. The City of Rogue River completed an initial assessment of approximately 100 service lines by visually inspecting the City side and the home owner side at the meter and determined there are no lead service lines in our system based on a statistical analysis approach approved by the Oregon Health Authority. We will continue to physically inspect the remaining service lines through the coming year to ensure that our community’s drinking water is safe and free from lead. If you have any direct knowledge about the type of piping material your water service line is, please contact City Hall and let us know. A copy of the inventory can be found at: |
