Built under an 1896 charter, obtained for the Junction City Irrigation and Power Ditches, to furnish power for mills and mining supply city mains, water extensive lands and livestock. At first under engineering supervision of G. W.Regsdill, a local man, then of R. J. Hand, San Antonio, project was sold 1903 to Jay E. Adams, San Antonio, and A. C. Green, of Palestine, Texas.
