Show To Complete Reservoir Earth Work Protected by Sheet-Steel Piling Work on the Sevier Bridge reservoir res-ervoir will again commence on the 19th of this month. The cut off wall will be completed and work of driving sheet-steel piling to cover the face of the cut-off wall will be commenced as soon as the water in the reservoir is drawn off sufficiently. The sheet-steel piling is interlocking and when in place will cut off all possible seepage into the main earth structure of the dam, eliminating elim-inating any possibility of the earth in the dam becoming soaked soak-ed and spugy. The dam holds 104,000 acre feet, and, when completed, will have a capacity of 250,000 acre feet, said to be 20,000 acre feet more than the goverment dam of the Strawberry Straw-berry project impounds. We expect soon to be able to furnish our readers a complete write-up of the dam. |
