Show 118 DIXIE PROJECT, UTAH Now we will be able to get the water after being treated on the basis of about 118. This is only because we already have a bond on the city of $ 500,000, which has provided a 20- inch line which will carry approximately 6.5 second- feet of water, and is in the general direction of the canel to be constructed under the Dixie project. Now, we expect to set up a diversion point closest to this pipeline in the canal where we would purify the water used from the Dixie project. We would not go clear to the dam for the water. This would run into another $ 2.75 million. By taking it out of the canal at the point of diversion suitable, we could possibly get it on an amortization basis of about 118, which would be over and above what we are paying now but our only source of supply. Mr. ROGERS. IS any change made for the use of the canal? Mr. BARLOCKER. I don't believe there are any allotments made on that. Pehaps Mr. West could answer that. Mr. ROGERS. Mr. West, is there any distribution cost charge from the reservoir to the city ? Mr. WEST. Yes. A part of the facilities will carry the M. & I. water from the storage in the Virgin City Reservoir. It has been allocated to M. & I. costs. Mr. ROGERS. DO you know what percentage that is ? Mr. WEST. I don't have the figures here, Mr. Chairman. It would be relatively small. Mr. ROGERS. DO you have the amount of money involved? Mr. WEST. We would be happy to supply it for the record. ( The information requested follows:) There are no project structures which would be constructed solely to provide municipal and industrial water supplies. Water for these purposes would be stored in, and conveyed through, common project works with delivery at canal- side to facilities to be provided by the city of St. George. Of the total allocable project cost of $ 42,673,000, separate costs of $ 14,244,000 have been identified as being necessary for specific project purposes other than the provision of municipal and industrial water supply. The remaining " joint costs" of the project, $ 28,429,000, have been allocated among the several project purposes. Municipal and industrial water supply was allocated $ 2,474,000 or 8.7 percent of the joint costs. On this basis, $ 968,000 would represent the municipal and industrial water supply share of the cost of the Hurricane main canal, through which water would be delivered to the facilities of the city. Mr. ROGERS. Mr. Johnson, have you any questions ? Mr. JOHNSON. Yes, Mr. Chairman. Mr. Barlocker, how large a city is St. George? Mr. BARLOCKER. About 6,000 people. Mr. JOHNSON. In your statement here, you state there will be a certain amount of; power produced and the power facilities will consist of three small powerplants ? Mr. BARLOCKER. That is correct. Mr. JOHNSON. The city counsel anticipates buying this power from the Bureau of Reclamation ? Mr. BARLOCKER. Yes; we have already signed a contract some months ago on the basis of 6.9 mills. However, since we recomputed these figures and want to get it on a full payout basis, the city council |
