The water system started construction in 1973 by Bill MacPherson and was completed in 1988 at the cost of 1 million dollars.  At that time, the water system served 450 homes but was capable of serving 1200 homes.   In 1978 Crooked River Ranch Water Company was separated from the original development and became its own company.  Today we serve over 1600 homes, and we deliver over 200 million gallons of water annually to our members. 

 

Our water is delivered to our members unfiltered and with no chemicals added.  In 2014 and 2020 our water was voted the best tasting water in Oregon.  There are 2 wells in operation today. Well 5 is our newest well and is over 1000' deep and produces 1200 gallons a minute.  Well 4 was built in 1997, it is over 900' deep and produces 700 gallons a minute.  

 

The water tower serves as our sole storage facility. Built-in 2016 by Landmark Structure, this water tower was the first of its kind in Oregon.   The tower holds just over 1 million gallons of water and stands 120' tall.
