It’s a law — which means it could be changed. Get the citizens of the community together, and go to the board, and tell them to change the law, or elect people who will.
Otherwise — don’t move into any place where the government insists they own the water.
I would gear up a Constitutional challenge to that law. It sounds like a “taking” for which I doubt any compensation was ever paid.
They voted for demondogs, what do they expect?
The Board
There are five members on the Board of Water Commissioners who volunteer to serve five-year overlapping terms. Each year a board member is appointed or re-appointed to the Commission by the Mayor and that appointment is approved by the City Council. The sole responsibility of the Board of Water Commissioners is the operation of the community’s water system. The Water Commission functions independently from other City of Medford operations.
Board meetings, which are open to the public, are held twice monthly, on the first and third Wednesdays unless otherwise scheduled. The meetings are held in the City of Medford’s Lausmann Annex, Room 151, at 12:15 p.m. (+/-; shall begin at the conclusion of the study session).
Please contact the Administration office at 541-774-2440 if you would like more information about board meetings.

It's a law because liberals have managed to create all powerful bureaucracies out of well intentioned ideas. Over the years they have both assumed and been given the power to create and enforce their own rules.
Come January 20, 2016 this crap is gonna come to a screeching halt. If Trump and his cabinet doesn't do it immediately, he can at least be counted on to give us judges who will support the constitution.
This is Oregon remember!
“don’t move into any place where the government insists they own the water.”
Isnt that pretty much everywhere?
