Table Rock Road Pipeline Project
Medford Water will install a new water pipeline along a section of Table Rock Road, to provide a seismically resilient connection from our water treatment plant to our distribution system and provide additional transmission capacity to support our growing community.
Project Description and Benefits
The Robert A. Duff Water Treatment Plant |
|
- Medford Water will install 18,000 feet of new 42" water transmission pipeline under and along Table Rock Road, from our Robert A. Duff Water Treatment Plant north of Kirtland Road to Vilas Road.
|
- This project will not only provide additional water transmission capacity to support our growing community, but it will also provide a seismically resilient connection from our water treatment plant to the rest of our distribution system.
|
- Contractor Pilot Rock Excavation will begin construction in the roadway in February 2024. We will provide more information as it becomes available.

Near the end of February, the contractor will begin excavation in various locations on Table Rock Road between our Robert A. Duff Water Treatment Plant north of Kirtland Road, to Vilas Road, to visually confirm the presence of utility lines. Nighttime work at the Vilas intersection was delayed slightly, but will begin in early March. Following that, day work will continue from Vilas towards Kirtland and our water treatment plant. The active construction zone will have a 35 mph posted speed limit; please drive with caution. |

Contractor Pilot Rock Excavation will begin construction in the roadway in February 2024, beginning at our water treatment plant. Near the end of February, construction work will also begin at the Vilas Road intersection; work in the intersection will take place at night to ease daytime traffic issues. We will minimize impacts as much as possible, but these activities will result in temporary lane closures and traffic delays as we carefully install this vital infrastructure. Please drive cautiously and be aware of changes to traffic patterns. |
