<br />('~ <br />'" <br />C',~ <br />~ <br /> <br />I;.,.- <br /> <br /><~f~J <br /> <br />Jl~ <br /> <br />Twelve Indian communities and 73 municipal and industrial entities <br />have received CAP water allocations. Eleven of the Indian communities have <br />signed water delivery contracts. <br /> <br />The CAP will deliver an average of 1.2 million acre-feet of Colorado <br />River water to service areas in Maricopa, Pinal, and Pima Counties each <br />year. Of this amount, municipal and industrial entities have been <br />allocated 640,000 acre-feet, and the Indian communities 309,828 acre-feet. <br />Non-Indian agricultural users will share the remaining water on a <br />percentage-of-available-supply basis. Harquahala Valley Irrigation <br />District will receive 7.67 percent of this amount. <br /> <br />Harquahala Valley Irrigation District is located approximately 61 <br />miles west of Phoenix. The district encompasses 60,480 acres, and about <br />32,000 of these are eligible for CAP water. <br /> <br />Water deliveries from the project's Granite Reef Aqueduct to the <br />Harquahala Valley Irrigation District are scheduled to begin in 1985. <br /> <br />-30- <br />
