<br />AlPine <br />Aqueduct <br /> <br />The Alpine Aqueduct, pan of <br />which is under construction, is <br />a major feature of the ,\1unicipaI <br />and Industrial System. The 14. <br />mile-long strucrure is divided <br />into Reaches 1,2 and 3. <br /> <br />Reach 1, which was completed <br />in 1979, consists ofa shon <br />tunnel and a pipeline ranging <br />in size from 90" to 72" in dia- <br />meter and con....eys water from <br />the existing Olmsted Flowline <br />about 1 mile to the vicinity of <br />the Utah Valley Water Purifica- <br />tion Plant. At that location it <br />is joined to the beginning of <br />Reach + of the Jordan Aque- <br />duct which will convey water <br />to Salt Lake Countv. A 60.inch <br />diameter connectio'n has been <br />made from Reach 1 to the Utah <br />Valley Plant's Pumping Station <br />which enables an exchange to be <br />made into the existing Salt Lake <br />Aqueduct. <br /> <br />Reach 2 will be constructed <br />southward from the Utah Valley <br />Water Purification Plant for <br />approximately 2 miles, and will <br />deliver treated water to Orem <br />City and possibly other con- <br />sumers. This Reach is soon to <br />be designed with construction <br />possible in 1985. <br /> <br />Reach 3, now under construc- <br />tion, will extend from the Utah <br />Valley Water Purification Plant <br />northward about 12 miles as far <br />as lehi, and will deliver treated <br />water to various water svstems <br />throughout Nonh Utah 'County <br />in need of supplemental supplies. <br />This Reach is scheduled for <br />completion by 1986, and ranges <br />in size from 60" at the plant to <br />18" at its terminus. <br /> <br /> <br />Jordan <br />Aqueduct <br /> <br />The partially completed 38- <br />mile-long Jordan Aqueduct is <br />also a major feature of the <br />Municipal and Industrial Sys. <br />tern. The aqueduct includes <br />the completed Reaches 1, 2 and <br />3, and Reach 4, now under con- <br />struction. The aqueduct has <br />been planned to convey and <br />distribute 70,000 acre-feet of <br />municipal and industrial water <br />released from Jordanelle Reser- <br />voir into the Provo River to <br />places of use in Salt lake <br />County and Salt Lake City. <br /> <br />Reach 1, completed in 1973, <br />extends from the Point-of-the. <br />.~tountain about 3 miles to the <br />Jordan Water Purification Plant <br />near Bluffdale. The 7S-inch dia- <br />meter pipe has been in operation <br />since 19i4, delivering Provo <br />River water to the plant for <br />treatment during the high sum- <br />mer demand season each year. <br /> <br />Reach 2, also completed in <br />19i3, extends from the plant <br />northward ior about 12 miles <br />to the vicinity of 5900 South <br />in Salt Lake Count\'. This i8" <br />diameter pipe is capable of de- <br />livering treated water to a large <br />area of the Salt Lake Valley <br />through the Salt Lake COUnty <br />Water Conservancy District. <br /> <br />Reach 3, which was completed <br />in 1983, is a continuation of <br />Reach 2 from 5900 South (Q <br />Salt Lake City at 2100 South. <br />This Reach is 5~ miles long <br />and consists of pipe ranging in <br />size from 66":lt the south end <br />to 48" at the north end. <br /> <br />Reach 4, now under construc. <br />tion, extends from the end of <br />Alpine Aqueduct Reach I, near <br />the mouth of Provo Canyon, for <br />a distance of 17 miles through <br />north Utah County to connect <br />with Jordan Reach 1 at the <br />Point-of-the.Mountain. The <br />pipe ranges from 72" to 66" in <br />diameter and will convev un- <br />treated water to the J ord:!n <br />Water Purification Plant. <br />
