About 10 years would be required to construct <br />the Initial Development. Early concurrent construction of <br />the ASpen, Twin Lakes, and Pueblo Reservoirs, the Fryingpan- <br />Arkansas Tunnel, and several Eastern Slope canals is planned <br />to facilitate filling the reservoirs. The Western Slope <br />collection system would be expanded gradually from the trans- <br />mountain tunnel. All hydrop1ants except Pueblo have been <br />scheduled for simultaneous completion so their operation can <br />be integrated as a unit. <br /> <br />Water supply <br /> <br />59.
