As of Thursday, July 1, 2021, the Jackson County Watermaster is regulating the Applegate System water rights. He is regulating back to the year 1910 and the district’s water right is dated 1915 so we have to shut the McDonald System down first thing this morning. A typical shut off date for the system is around July 15th, so considering the severe drought situation this year, the system has held up considerably well.
