By JOSEPHINE ZIMMERMAN Herald Staff Writer In June, 1971, the Salt Lake Water Conservancy District signed an agreement with the Central Utah Water Conservancy District for the ultimate delivery of 50,000 acre feet of Central Utah Project water annually, at a total cost of approximately $145,000,000. This sale represents the largest block of water in the Bonneville Unit. The initial 3,000 acre feet of water was to be delivered in 1974, or as soon thereafter as treated water could be made available As the CUP progresses, number-ou- s other agreements will be re- quired for water sales, operation, replacement, and als the use of recreational facilities developed. Other agreements include joint operation of Strawberry reservoir with the Strawberry Water Uiers Association, joint operation of Utah lake with the Associated Canal Companies, joint operation of Mona Reservoir with Currant Creek Irrigation Company, and agreement with Sevier Bridge Water Users for the delivery and storage of water in the Sevier Bridge Reservoir. According to Lynn Ludlow, CUWCD manager, the Bonneville Unit will increase usable water supplies in the Uintah and Bonne ville basins by means of regulatory storage works and conveyance facilities. About 323,000 acre feet of water will be developed annually for municipal and industrial purposes, irrigation, hydroelectric power, fish and wildlife, flood control, recreation, and water quality control. He said the Bonneville Unit will make water available to sustain continued economic and industrial growth in Utah by providing about 100,000 acre feet of water for municipal and industrial to meet the uses.. .enough water municipal needs of a city of 400,-00- 0 people. It will also provide about 207,000 acre feet of irrigation water for 35,000 acres of new farmland, and through the completed facilities. Construction fo the first section of the Jordan Aqueduct was begun in September, 1971. This aqueduct, located on the west side of Salt Lake County, was designed to deliver municipal and industrial water to the construction of the Jordan Water Purification Plant in March, 1972. The $14.4 million Jordan Treatment Plant will deliver water to Salt Lake County where residents of that county are presently living on "borrowed" water, according to Robert Hilbert, General Manager of the Salt Lake County Water Conservancy District. "It will also solve the summer low pressure problems on the wst side of Salt Lake County," Hilbert acres of existing farmland now periodically short of water. He estimated the increase in agricultural production on these lands will be equivalent to the present agricultural production in Utah County. A total of about 1,000 megawatts of pwoer will be generated by project hydroelectric plants, or more than four times the power generated by Flaming Gorge and enough energy to supply the power needs of a city of $750,000. Ludlow said extensive relational developments on new. and 213,000 . enlarged reclamation reservoirs are planned. It is estimated that an increase of about $500 million in assessed property valuation will result because of the economic growth generated by Bonneville Unit water. The Jensen, Vernal, Upalco and Uintah units of CUP arc relatively small and are situated entirely within the Uintah Basin. They water supdevelop local plies for irrigation of Indian and lands, and for municipal and industrial purposes in Duchesne and Uintah counties. The sixth unit, the Ute Indian Unit, is not active, although it has had a concluding report prepared. It delays further development of the unit until future needs of the CUP can be more thoroughly determined. Only the Vernal Unit is completed, having been finished in 1962. All others are under con in non-Indi- Holiday shopping hours Monday through Saturday 0. struction.

The Upalco Unit will provide for supplemental irrigation water lands along n Indian and the Lake Fork River and will also include municipal and industrial water, and benefitrs for recration, fish and wildlife and flood control. non-India- The Uintah Unit is an project, storing the high flows of the Uinta and Whiterocks rivers for irrigation of Indian and lands, for municipal and industrial use, recreation, flood control, and fish and wildlife uses. all-Indi- non-Indi- Closed Sunday. always tell a man who knows his clothes . . . he wears Arrow shirts You can said. The purification plant is located about four miles northwest of the Point of the Mountain. Provo River Project facilities are to be used to deliver municipal and industrial wajer to northern Utah and Salt Lake counties. Operation of the two projects must be fully correlated. A memorandum of understanding was approved recently by the Central Utah Water Conservancy District board to pave the way for negotiations between CUP, CUWCD, the Salt Lake County Water Conservancy District and the Salt Lake Metropolitan Water District. The goal of this project will be to construct Little Dell Dam in Salt Lake County and to provide for a series of water exchanges that will deliver water into Salt Lake County. ' f ?
