Elbert Conduitu3 <br />90-inch pipe nearly 1 1 mites <br />long--transports water from <br />Turquoise Lake to the Mt. <br />Elbert Forebay Reservoir. <br />The Halfmoon Diversion <br />Dam intercepts excess <br />flows 01 Halfmoon Creek for <br />diversion to Mt. Elbert <br />Conduit also. Waler <br />delivered to the forebay is <br />used to generate power at the <br />Mt. Elbert Pumped-Storage <br />Powerplanl. The powerplant <br />is located in the northwestern <br />corner of the lower lake of <br /> <br />· ~f'''' <br /> <br />Pueblo Dam <br /> <br />Twin Lakes. Atter going <br />through the powerplant, the <br />water flows into Twin Lakes. <br /> <br />The new Twin Lakes Dam was <br />constructed approximately <br />2,500 feet downstream from <br />an older existing structure. <br />From Twin Lakes, project <br />water flows down the <br />Arkansas river to Pueblo Dam <br />where some is diverted to the <br />Fountain Valley Conduit for <br />delivery to municipal and <br />industrial water users. <br />Pueblo Reservoir is the <br />terminal storage feature <br />lor the Fryingpan*Arkansas <br />Project. <br /> <br />The project diverts an <br />average of 69,200 acre-feet <br />of water annually from the <br />western slope to the <br />Arkansas River. <br /> <br />" <br /> <br />
