The Central Utah (Project - APPROPRIATIONS FOR FISCAL YEAR 1971 Included in President Nixon's Budget and appropriated by the Congress of the United States for fiscal year 1971 was the $12.9 million construction program for the Bonneville Unit of the Central Utah Project. This construction program was supported by the District in appearances ap-pearances and supporting testimony before both the House and the Senate Appropriations Committees. Com-mittees. If the above funds are fully utilized during this fiscal year it will result in several very significant construction starts essential to move the project forward. With these new starts it will be necessary that substantial appropriations ap-propriations be made in the following years so that the construction program and contracts awarded can be continued and completed on an economical basis. Substantially all of the new money will be used on the Strawberry Complex and would involve construction of the ' following:' Completion Com-pletion of construction on the Water Hollow Tunnel and Open Channel No. 2, acquisition of land and rights for Soldier Creek Dam, Strawberry Reservoir enlargement and collection collec-tion works; the awarding of contracts for Currant Cur-rant Creek Dam; Currant Creek Road rehabilitation, rehabili-tation, second reach; relocation of the Forest Service road; Soldier Creek Dam; Water Hollow Diversion Dam, feeder pipe and pipeline; Layout Lay-out Tunnel and access road; Layout Creek Diversion Dam, pipeline and feeder pipe; Currant Cur-rant Tunnel and access road; Vat Tunnel; and the relocation of U. S. Highway 40 to bypass the enlarged Strawberry Reservoir. In addition this program would permit initial acquisition of lands and rights for the Jordan Aqueduct system sys-tem and the awarding of a contract for construction con-struction of the Jordan Aqueduct system 1. Since the beginning of the year a contract has been awarded on the Soldier Creek Dam. The award was to the Burgess Construction Company of Fairbanks, Alaska in the amount of $9,873,924. A bid opening has been held for the construction of Layout and Currant Tunnels and a contract awarded to S. A. Healy, Co. of Chicago, Illinois with a bid of $10,971,025. The Utah State Highway Department has awarded a contract to Strong Construction Company of Springville Utah for the relocation of U. S. Highway 40 to bypass the enlarged Strawberry Reservoir. It is anticipated that additional contracts con-tracts will be awarded during the remainder of this fiscal year. In addition to funds for the Bonneville Unit $500,000 was appropriated for the start of construction con-struction on the Jensen Unit, $233,000 for the construction of, drains on the Vernal Unit, $75,000 to complete construction of the Bottle Hollow Dams and Dike, and $270,000 to continue con-tinue feasibility investigations on the Ute Indian Unit. The District is pleased with the support given the Central Utah Project by the Congress of the United States and has officially requested the Executive Departments of the Federal Government Gov-ernment to utilize the total of the appropriated funds on construction during fiscal year 1971. DESALTED WATER Bureau of Reclamation and the Office of Saline Water are considering an experimental 20-acre farm with a small desalter to determine if desalted water can be used to grow crops. Cheapest water from brackish water desalter is $113 an acre-foot. Cheapest water from a sea water desalter is $218 an acre-foot. Farmers can't pay more than $20 and acre-foot, according accord-ing to OSW. But the two agencies of Interior Department De-partment believe they can build a small desalter that would serve irrigation of specialty crops at $100 an acre-foot. Probable location of the experimental farm would be Southern California, Cali-fornia, the Phoenix area, or in the Lower Rio Grande Valley in southern New Mexico or Texas. FIRST WATER DELIVERED FROM BONNEVILLE UNIT CENTRAL UTAH PROJECT In November, 1969 the storage of water was started in the Starvation Complex, the first complex com-plex to be completed of the Bonneville Unit. Between November and July 1970 over 100,000 acre feet of water had been placed in storage. This storage was utilized by the District in making available on a rental basis water for irrigation of lands along the Duchesne River. With the low runoff and the possible shortage of water the District requested, and the U.S. Bureau of Reclamation agreed to make available these waters. The water could not be on a firm basis because the principal reason for storage of water during this first year was to season and test the Starvation Dam. Over 15,000 acre-feet acre-feet of water was leased to various irrigation companies and initial deliveries of releases from Starvation Reservoir were made to these companies in August and September of 1970. The District has officially received a block notice from the Bureau of Reclamation and firm water deliveries starting in the 1971 irrigation ir-rigation season can be made from the Starva-iont Starva-iont Reservoir. The District is presently in the process of negotiating contracts with Duchesne River irrigators to provide late season storage water to firm up their water supplies and stabilize their agricultural income. WHY ISN'T WATER FREE? The water that flows in the river is free. The water in the ocean, too, is yours for the taking. But neither is fit to drink. Making water safe and palatable costs money, requires the use of expensive facilities and skilled personnel. per-sonnel. So does distribution of water from its source through aqueducts and pipes to where it is used. "Over $50 billion is invested in water systems sys-tems in the U.S.A.,, and billions more must be invested every year to keep them up to date and capable of meeting constantly increasing demands," says Eric F. Johnson, Executive Director Di-rector of the American Water Works Association, Associa-tion, representative of the 25,000 water utilities in the United States, Canada, and Mexico. Water fit for use is a manufactured product. A modern water utility is literally a factory, taking the raw water of rivers, lakes, and wells and, by exacting treatment, free it of both man-made man-made and natural pollutants. The process of mixing, settling, filtration, and disinfection of water may take many hours and involves the addition of some ingredients and the removal of others. Elaborate electronic equipment may monitor the manufacturing process and the safety of the delivered product. Trained and dedicated technicians bear the responsibility for seeing that nothing goes amiss. Water is the most important product we buy. It is "the stuff of life." Measured by weight or volume, we use more of it than anything any-thing else. It isn't free, but it is inexpensive often too inexpensive. In water as in many other products, we usually get what we pay for. Penny-pinching has no place when so vital a product is concerned. The best in water and in water service is still an incredible bargain, and we cannot afford to have anything less than the best.
