Show Wafer Test Near Hanksville Leads Wav to Power Plant A good flow of water from an artesian well I 1S miles northwest of HanKsiUe near Cains- I ille, is being tested by the International Con-sinners Con-sinners Power Assn. in an effort to establish eri-teria eri-teria far the possible const motion of one or more electricity generating gener-ating plants. The well began producing pro-ducing water at the 600 ft. leel and it is hoped hop-ed that bv drilling to the I $00 tt. leel that this amount wil 1 increase. in-crease. The project is part of a feasibility study for coal generated plants in this area of the State bv 1CPA which inolud-es inolud-es CarKane Power Association As-sociation of Kiohfield. along al-ong with several major southern California power pow-er companies. These include in-clude I. os Alleles Department De-partment of Water and Power; Citv of Anaheim: Ana-heim: City of Pasadena and the City of Niver-si Niver-si do. Present plans call for generating capacity of - to 6 thousand megawatts mega-watts through one or more plants. Company officials pointed out that the kaipaivw its project is presently planned for 3 thousand megawatts. hile the ultimate results re-sults of the proposal could be several vears away, the well tostuvg is a v ital first step to determine de-termine the availability of water needed to operate oper-ate a plant or plants with the elect ileal output of the present plans. The Camsv ille Project would store water tivm the well in what would become the Camsv tile Wash Keservoir, capable of storing some ll!. $.". acre feet of water. I'his would be used by the power companies and the I ow er Fremont .iter I sei s ssti.. both of which would finance its const ruction. Such a reservoir would retail e the relocation of about two miles of I'tah Highway 1M .nisi east of the eastern border of Capitol Keef National P.irk |
