Show Water project contracts to be let in month The Interior Department's Water and Power Resources Service plans to call for 10 construction and rehabilitation contracts in Utah next month. They include building a dam test section and field station near the upper Stillwell Dam near Mountain Home; Duchesne County; exploratory drilling near Heber City for the Whiterocks Dam site and constructing the Tyzack pumping plant, 10 miles northeast of Vernal. A department spokesman said the Tyzack project will have five pumping units. The project also includes 12 miles of pipeline. The August bid calls also include rehabilitation of the power plant service ser-vice road tunnel near Page, Ariz. The largest of the expected invitations in-vitations for equipment purposes will be for upgrading four generators at Glen Canyon dam on the Utah-Arizona border. This is mainly for a study to determine the possibility of increasing the power output from the dam. |
