This control automatically closes the valve when pumping is <br /> <br />interrupted by power failure. Each pump will turn 327 revolutions per <br /> <br />minute' while operating, By looking through the gr>atings set in this <br /> <br /> <br />floor, it is possible to see both the discharge and intake butterfly <br /> <br />valve housings, which are eight and nine feet in outside diameter, One <br /> <br />small crane serves this floor and may be moved from bay to bay by using <br /> <br />" ;" <br /> <br />the 25~ton crane located on the floor above, Other floors below this <br /> <br />.; '.-": <br /> <br />level permit access to the valves and to the sump room where miscellaneous <br /> <br />seepage water from the building is collected, pumped up to the ground <br /> <br /> <br />surface and discharged back intD the reservoir, <br /> <br />So another step has been completed in the great objective of <br /> <br />the Colorado-Big Thompson Project, which is to use beneficially the <br /> <br />surplu~ water from the reaches of the Colorado River above elevation <br /> <br />8280 for the very worthy purpose of supplementing the inadequate supply <br /> <br />9 <br /> <br />'-'\ <br /> <br />'-,^ <br />
