The pilot flew to medford. Mechanic inspected aircraft and found 1/2 pint of water in fuel but no other problems with engine. Fueling facilities at roseburgand hillsboro (original departure point) checked fuel and found no water. Pilot admitted not checking fuel for water after refueling in Roseburg.
