LANDS IN THE ESTABLISHED /'bNTEZlf,IA VALLr::r AREA !'fOULD CONTINUE TO <br />BE SERVED BY EXISTING GRAVITY SYSTEMS, THE SPRINKLER SYSTEM FOR THE <br />!bVE CREEK AREA WOULD INCLUDE SIX PUMPI[\,'G PLANTS TO PROVIDE PRESSURE AT <br />FARM TURNOUTS. IN THE TOWAOC MEA, PRESSURE WOULD BE DEVELOPED IN THE <br />PIPE LATERAL SYSTEM FROM THE GROUND SLOPE. THE LATERAL SYSTEMS WOULD BE <br />ASBESTOS CEMENT AND CONCRETE PRESSURE PIPES AND \\UULD BE BURIED TO AID <br />IN PRESERVATION OF THE SCENERY. PROJECT DRAINAGE WIll.
