Softened water is delivered at two llOil1ts from the upper feeder to Pomona Valley Municipal Water District. Pasadena has four direct connections, and San Marino will be served through a mile-long lateral, although a connection into the system serving the city has not been made by the private water company. The District acquired from the City of Pasadena by an agreement made in 1932 and consummated in 1941, Morris Dam and reservoir in Pine Canyon on the San Gabl'iel River. This reservoir with a capacity of approximately 35,000 acre-feet provides emergency storage above the upper feeder to which it is connected through Monrovia tunnel No.2 and a steel pipe line under the river bed immediately below Morris Dam. There are three main branches extending from the upper feeder southerly and westerly into the metropolitan area, with laterals as required to carry water to the member agencies.

Orange County and Corona del Mar resen'oirs, with capacities of 200 and 15 acre-feet respectively, provide storage and flow regulation. The Palos Verdes branch runs southerly and westerly from Eagle Rock tower 31 miles to the Palos Verdes reservoir near the Los Angeles-Long Beach harbor area. Twelve connections, includ- ing a short lateral to Ascot reservoir, have thus far been made from this line to the Los Angeles city water system. A direct connection is also provided for Torrance in its southeastern portion and three direct connections for constituents of West Basin Municipal Water District.
