| Relation | Central Utah Project; Western Waters Digital Library; with nondevelopment of the mai m&i system future water requirements in the two counties would probably be met through 1 further development of existing sources by local public entities 2 development of new sources and 3 conservation programs demands would probably be met initially by using existing sources to their maximum probable limit after which the areas residents would be faced with the option of importing water from new sources or adapting to a future without addi tional dional water conservation the most likely and immediate sources for increasing the high quality water supply are discussed in chapter B in greater detail the sources include ground water further use of deer creek reservoir irrigation conversion and greater use of the mountain front streams the order of development would depend on relative costs and technical difficulties the final 15 to 20 percent of supply from each source would cost a great deal more than earlier portions and might be impossible to attain because of technical constraints development of ground water involving deep well pumping and conversion of irrigation water involving treating and pumping of utah lake water are inherently less energy efficient than storage delivery by gravity of high quality municipal and industrial water from higher elevations As concerns for energy conservation increase and energy costs continue to rise these sources of water are likely to become more expensive and less desirable the full potential for additional development of existing sources is estimated to be 32500 acre feet a year in northern utah county and 94000 in salt lake county structures needed for the delivery of this amount of water would include completion of the alpine and jordan aque ducts and several cross valley water lines in salt lake county the following table shows a breakdown of these potential supplies table H 1 immediate sources for future high quality water under nondevelopment average acre feet per year northern salt lake utah county county ground water 38500 deer creek reservoir 17000 933500 133500 2 33500 irrigation conversion 25500 10000 mountain front streams 312000 112000 total 32500 94000 I 1 1 in exchange for imports from strawberry reservoir through the strawberry tunnel under actual operation would probably be prorated between the two counties if 2 through the salt lake aqueduct 3 without additional storage H 2 |
