Show 68 entirely by a closed pipeline system operated primarily by gravity. From Lake Mathews a pipeline known as the Upper Feeder follows a northerly course to Fontana, California, at which point it turns west through Ontario and Pomona to the Laverne Softening and Filtration Plant where it divides. From Laverne the main line proceeds northwesterly and westerly through Pasadena, Burbank, Glendale, Beverly Hills and Santa Monica. Just west of Pasadena this line divides again and the other branch takes a southerly direction terminating at the Palos Verdes Reservoir. The other pipeline taking out at the Laverne Softening and Filtration Plant proceeds south to service the main cities of Orange County.s3 The capacity of the Laverne plant is 200,000,000 gallons per day (approximately 614 acre-feet) and water is treated to render it more suitable for industrial and domestic use.88 The water distribution system below Lake Mathews includes a number of small regulatory and storage reservoirs. The Orange County Reservoir, which has a capacity of 200 acre-feet, is chiefly used to regulate the flow of the pipeline carrying water from Lake Mathews by equalizing the difference between supply and demand occurring during night and day, summer and winter. The Corona Del Mar Reservoir at the south end of the Orange County pipeline is a small regulatory reservoir designed to prevent waste at the terminus of the pipeline. Morris Dam Reservoir has a capacity of about 35,000 acre-feet which is held solely for emergency use in case of major catastrophe. It is not filled with Colorado River water and under ordinary circumstances neither supplements nor diminishes the supply in the distribution system. The Palos Verdes Reservoir is another regulatory reservoir at the end of one branch of the 85Tr. 9566-9567 (Elder) ; see Calif. Ex. 447. 86Tr. 9574 (Elder). |
