Show UPPER PROVO RIVER RESERVOIR STABILIZATION Jordan Aqueduct ^l Ian Valley Water fication Plant JO. A i LEGEND 0 Pumping Plant Q~y Reservoir ^ Canal j=r_^ Tunnel Dike Siphon (_II__I Pipe Line Mosida / GQSHEN Area . MUNICIPAL AND INDUSTRIAL SYSTEM The Municipal and Industrial Water System will include Jordanelle Reservoir on Provo River; improvement of the existing Provo Reservoir Canal; the Jordan Aqueduct; the Alpine Aqueduct; and Lampton Reservoir on Jordan River, which will reregulate Bonneville Unit return flows below Utah Lake. Diking of Utah Lake (Provo and Goshen Bays) will reduce the surface area of the lake by about 35 percent and will result in a net evaporation savings of more than 105,000 acre-feet of water annually. Part of this savings will be exchanged upstream in Jordanelle Reservoir for Provo River water that presently flows into Utah Lake. As required for municipal and industrial use, the stored water will be released to the Provo River and thence diverted to Alpine Aqueduct or to Jordan Aqueduct via Provo Reservoir Canal. Municipal and industrial water developed by the Unit will total 99,000 acre-feet, to be distributed as follows: Salt Lake County, 70,000 acre-feet; northern Utah County, 20,000 acre-feet; southern Utah County, 7,500 acre-feet; and Juab County, 1,500 acre-feet. Storing surplus flow from the Jordan River, spills from Utah Lake, and Bonneville Unit return flows, Lampton Reservoir will provide water for industrial development in Salt Lake Valley. The distribution works required to deliver this industrial supply have not been determined.'* COSTS of ffi est |
