ter for irrigation purposes. The city
also gave these people the right to use
the creek water through the city mains
for all domestic purposes.
Made System Possible.
This original exchange of water
rights has made possible the present
system and, by virtue of ii, the water
from Parleys and Big Cottonwood
creeks have since been secured.
These agreements are still III force,

and some of the heirs of the original
water right owners are today prOfiting
by the deal Along the canal in the
heart of the city can be seen now sew
eral spillways which furnish irrigation
water to small lots, the owners having
as yet refused to surrender their rights.
The canal was completed late in 1880
in a crude form, and remained in this
condition until 1899 AT that time it
became necessary to look for an addi
tional water supply and Parley's creek
The Salt Lake herald. [volume] (Salt Lake City [Utah]) 1870-1909, 1908-05-17

After many conferences with the farm
ers who owned these rights the offer of
the city to exchange Utah lake water
from the canal for the creek water was
accepted, thus giving the city another
large supply.
At present, in the district described.
the canal furnishes water to many Of
those who at one time controlled rights
in the creek.
Shortly afterward the city secured
some rights in the Big Cottonwood
creek, the largest and most dependa-
BILE stream flowing into the valley.
These rights were gradually increased
until in 1904 the city controlled half the
flow of this stream. 1t was then that
the project of building the Big Cotton
wood conduit was advanced, and this
great engineering feat was completed
in February, 1907. and the water turned
into the city mains.
Mostly by Exchange.
The water from this creek has also
been secured by the exchange of rights
for the most part. although the Knud-
sen rights east of the city canal were
purchased for $4,000. This purchase
had to be made because the canal is be-
low the land of which these rights were
a part.
The conduit, as is generally known,
runs along the base of the mountains
and empties into the Parlye's canyon
reservoir. a cut of which is shown
above. From here it is distributed to
the southern and western sections of
the city and furnishes at least 50 per
cent of the Salt Lake people with
water. ...-..--
