<br />L, 0448 <br /> <br />Following i~ a tabulation in acre feet of the Independence Pass Trans- <br />mountain Diversion System's water production for the past five years: <br /> <br />~ <br />1974 <br />1973 <br />1972 <br />1971 <br />1970 <br /> <br />PRODUCTION <br /> <br />Total <br />5 Year Average <br /> <br />43,500 <br />55,071 <br />44,669 <br />50,493 <br />61.160 <br />254,893 <br />50,979 <br /> <br />The New York Collection System was. improved this year by placing 4flO <br />lineal feet of 103" x 71", corrugated metal pipe in snow slide areas. <br />A~so, this fall the deposits of rocks and debris in concentrated areas <br />of Tunnel No. 2 were moved and placed in floor holes thus increasing the <br />capacity of the tunnel. <br /> <br />We purchased a used 1965 Dodge dump truck and a used Allis-Chalmers <br />backhoe and front end loader on tracks. This equipment has been very <br />beneficial in maintaining the canals. We anticipate that the only <br />equipment needed in 1975 will be the replacement of the 1969 Jeep pickup. <br /> <br />Total Colorado Canal headgate diversions in acre feet for the water year <br />1973-1974 were as follows: <br /> <br />MONTH BmB TWIN LAKES LAKE MER.
