<br /> <br />23 <br /> <br />The p.G Plant consists of four 2-speed pump-generator units and four adjustable- <br /> <br />speed pumping units, New WaddeIl Dam and P-G Plant will allow most of CAP's <br /> <br />Colorado River water entitlement to be pumped into the Phoenix area and stored <br /> <br />during the winter months when energy and water demands are low, and then <br /> <br />released for delivery in the summer months when energy and water demands are <br /> <br />high, The dam and P-G Plant are scheduled to be fully operational in 1995, but <br /> <br />initial pump tests and reservoir filling will begin in the fall/winter of 1992. Current <br /> <br />construction schedules indicate that operational testing of the pumps will begin in <br /> <br />October of 1992 and the first pump will be available for commercial operation by <br /> <br />November 15, 1992. The schedules indicate that three pumps (two 2-speed and one <br /> <br />adjustable-speed) will be in operation by the end of 1992, and the remaining pumps <br /> <br />will come on line in 1993. Current planning studies show that approximately <br /> <br />110,000 AF of Colorado River water will be pumped into storage in New Waddell <br /> <br />Reservoir in November and December, 1992. <br /> <br />Senator Wash & Laguna Reservoirs <br /> <br />Water conservation operations of Senator Wash allow regulation of water deliveries <br /> <br />to Mexico and other irrigation agencies, The wash prevents excess flows in the <br /> <br />Colorado River below Morelos Dam except during rainstorm or other unusual <br /> <br />events, Operational objectives at and below Laguna Dam are to conserve water, <br /> <br />control sediment, and maintain the river channel. Storage of water above Laguna <br />
