Copper Basin reservoir <br />was filled. and on March 13th Colorado River water was released <br />into Whipple Mountain tunnel. The Iron Mountain pumps began <br />operating on April 5th. those at Eagle Mountain on April 10th. and <br />Hayfield. the fifth and last lift. on July 25. 1939. First Colorado <br />River water flowed from Valverde tunnel into the Cajalco basin on <br />November 2, 1939. <br />The project is now approaching the position of ability to deliver <br />water to cities within the District. It is possible to forecast quite <br />closely the cost of the initial development contemplated when bonds <br />were voted September 29. 1931. The following tabulation compares <br />the present estimate of cost with that published in July 1931. prior <br />to the bond election. It also gives the present estimate of cost of <br />the deferred items to complete the project to its full ultimate capa- <br />city of 1.500 cubic feet per second. <br /> <br />COLORADO RIVER AQUEDUCT COST ESTIMATES <br /> <br />Initial cun!.lrHclion ((/) d('lin'r i50 c.f.s.) <br />Diversion dam m..m .................. <br />Main aqut'Juct ......m. <br />Terminal st(,r.q~e ... <br />Deli\"l:'~' lin~s. <br /> <br />Total initial l;!)~l <br /> <br />BOND ISSUE <br />ESTDIATE. <br />JULY]931 <br />... ..m..' 13.058.000 <br />m 1.1.1,170,000 <br />.........
