盐湖城改善的水系统
一般文章
犹他州盐湖城的公民不打算像几年前那样再次遭受水饥荒的不便他们呼吸的空气和阳光阳光普照。也许是，他们应该受到如此受到阻碍，因为它使他们采取了措施，这将使将来变得更加糟糕的灾难。简而言之，由于这三天的水短缺引起的煽动，有具体的计划，使制造水系统足以满足城市的未来命运，并不受霜冻和干旱的影响。一年的通过已经看到了这些计划的形式。其中一些已经在进行中，而另一些人是未来几年将要进行的实用运动的一部分。水官员说，不再有水饥荒。在发生类似紧急情况的情况下，已经采取了足够的步骤来提供足够的供应。在解决问题的一年中，主要成就是让大三叶木湖上的大坝建设合同。在这里，这座城市将在山顶上存放数亿加仑。在菲比湖插座的大坝上工作，在夏季和秋季的几个月中迅速发展。 It will be completed, in all probability, during the ensuing summer. The Owen Gray Company was given the contract at a bid of about $60,000. This dam will hold in reserve the flood waters of the spring so as to feed the stream through the summer months in such way as to keep the flow as near normal as possible. Complementary to this project is the proposed distribution and storage reservoir which the city aims to build on the Fort Douglas military reservation, just east of Fifteenth East street, near Fifth South street. This reservoir, if built, will hold in reserve many millions of gallons for the serving of the supply lines in the southeastern part of the city. Parley’s conduit will empty into this reservoir. The same general plan includes a new supply line down Thirteenth South street from the Big Cottonwood conduit to feed all the city from that point north to the upper system.
