<br /> <br />1~::3 <br /> <br />ftlETROPOLITAN WATER DISTRICT <br /> <br />policy in this respect was published in Report No. 405, dated July <br />13, 1931 as followR: <br /> <br />I <br />.., <br /> <br />I <br />j <br />I <br />.. <br /> <br />. ' . the pumping plants, steel pipe lines, terminal stor- <br />age works, distribution lines, and other readily divisible <br />features, should have an initial capacity sufficient to sup- <br />ply the water need up to about 1950. This calls for about <br />100,000 acre-feet storage capacity and approximately half <br />capacity ;n the other divisible items. The majn aqueduct <br />tunnels, covered conduits, and lined canals, should be con- <br />structed to full capacity in the beginning. <br /> <br />In regard to deliveries to member cities, the statement of policy <br />adopted by the District on ,January 9, 1931 reads as follows: <br /> <br />The Metropolitan Water District will deliver water, <br />either directly or indirectly, through a system provided <br />by the District, to each of the eleven original member <br />cities, and to those cities whose applications for admis- <br />sion prior to March 1, 1931 have been approved, at or <br />near the boundary of each, this point of delivery to be de- <br />termined by considerations of economy and convenience <br />with respect to the general engineering plans adopted by J <br />the District, and to such other points as the Directors may ., <br />determine. 'I <br /> <br />Principal features I <br />The principal features of the distribution system included in the <br />program for initial construction consist of the Cajaleo reservoir, <br />the headworks, a high line or upper feeder between Cajaleo reser- <br />voir and Glendale, one cross feeder extending southerly from the <br />upper feeder to serve the member cities in Orange County, another J <br />to make deliveries to the cities of Los Angeles, Compton, Torrance, I <br />and Long Beach, and a lateral westerly from the end of the upper I <br />feeder to supply Glendale and Burbank. This lateral will be ex- J, <br />tended to supply Beverly Hills and Santa Monica, also, unless ex- J <br />change arrangements with the City of Los Angeles are consum- <br />mated whereby these last-lJamed cities will be supplied by connec- <br />tions from existing Los Angeles lines. Delivery to San Marino will <br />be through a short lateral from the upper feeder and delivery to <br />Pasadena will be directly from the upper feeder. <br />The main aqueduct will deliver water at a fairly uniform rate <br />to Cajaleo reservoir, but the distribution system must deliver water <br />to meet the varying demands of the thirteen cities, all at different <br />elevational zones.
