Active Projects

133.PROJECT:West Side Canal Jons Drop and 4-Mile Flume
LEVEL:New Application
SPONSOR:West Side Canal Company/Savery-Little Snake Conservancy Dist.
LOCATION:Carbon County
PROGRAM:Rehabilitation

PROJECT INFORMATION:
The West Side Canal Company is requesting a Level II feasibility study to provide recommendations and cost estimates for rehabilitation of the Jons Drop and the 4-mile flume within the canal system. The Jons Drop is a chronic maintenance problem on the canal and is currently experiencing bank failure that may, if allowed to continue, disrupt water flow to irrigators below the drop. The 4-mile flume has reached its useful life expectancy and is in need of overhaul or replacement.

RECOMMENDED LEGISLATIVE ACTION:
The WWDC recommends the project be incorporated in the Rehabilitation Program at Level II with an appropriation of $25,000.
