During 1922, the Provo Reservoir Company has enlarged its Btorage reservoirs at the head of the Provo River to furnish water to help meet the increased demand for late water in both Utah and Salt Lake Counties. V -- ;y In the future when Salt Lake" City finds it necessary to acquire all of the water from the canyons south of Big Cottonwood for culinary uses, the Reservoir Company's canal may be extended along the east side to supply lands now being irrigated by these canyon streams, thus releasing the canyon water for use in Salt Lake City. ' " ' ,r : " . After the irrigation season is over in the fall, the reservoir gates are closed and allowed to fill during the winter and early spring. In normal years the. high water on the. Provo River is over from the 1st to the 15th of July. At this time the water stored in the reservoirs is released and furnishes their supply to the low water rights of the company. There are about 3,000 acres of land in Utah county lying above the Provo Reservoir canal which could be irrigated by mountain water, and through exchange, the lands below the canal now using mountain water might be supplied directly from the canal instead of fluming the mountain water across the canal, which is done at the present time. ; H 7 The offices of the Provo" Reservoir Company are located in the KnigEt Block, Provo, Utah, and in the Vermont Bldg., Salt Lake City, Utah.
