<br />the Colorado River. That quantity of water under continuous fiow
<br />conditions would supply a city of about 5,000 people.
<br />In June 1939 is was possible to dismantle the booster stations
<br />at the Buried Mountain wells, at Grommet, Vidal wells, Whipple
<br />Mountain, and Earp. Salvaging of pipe, tanks, and remaining
<br />equipment not sold in place was completed in February 1940.
<br />The costs of the construction water system are given in table 5.

<br />Construction Power System
<br />In August 1938 the Fan Hill substation was removed from service,
<br />following completion of all construction requiring 33-kv power in
<br />the Coachella area. During this .month and in September severe
<br />electrical storms starting at the Colorado River and working west-
<br />ward caused disturbances in the system, but the only prolonged
<br />outage was one of 25 minntes.
<br />In September, six 2,000-kva transformers were removed from
<br />substations and transferred to the Intake pumping plant. In No-
<br />vember, upon completion of San Jacinto excavation, six more sim-
<br />ilar transformers became available completing the required number
<br />at Intake, to which point also two 69-kv oil circuit breakers were
<br />transfened from the Fan Hill substation for permanent use.
