BRIDGEPORT
Little Luckiamute River
____ - 1950
January 21, 1950: "Monmouth's water troubles began Thursday when an ice-laden tree crushed the pipe line near the intake on Teel creek. Crews battled deep snow drifts this morning to reach the break and had completed repairs at 3:30 p.m. just a half hour before floods carried away the old Bridgeport bridge and with it another section of the line.
City officials estimated that the new break at the bridge site could not be repaired before Saturday night. The city had earlier constructed concrete piers for a suspension bridge over the Luckiamute at Bridgeport and work was being sped to swing the pipeline across." (Statesman Journal)
