Notice of End APP
portionment of Stored
and Pumped Water

The first apportionment of
stored and pumped water for. lands
on the San Carlos Project for the
Calendar Year 1889 was made by
the Commissioner of Indian Affairs
and approved by the Secretary of
the Interior on January 25, 1889,
to the amount of 1.013 ac. ft. per
acre. This was based on the
amount of 4,310 ac. #. in the San
Carlos Reservoir on January l,
1889, and the making available OF
100000 ac. #. from the pumps op-
Grated in project irrigation wells,
or a total of 104,310 ac. ft. 1t was
estimated that 5000 ac. ft of water
will be required for Federal and
State agencies, Municipalities and
schools, so that under the first
apportionment a net of 1O1, $40 &C.
TT. of water was available at source
of supply and subject to transporta-
tion and evaporation losses.
Since that time an additional
amount of 25,570 ac. ft. of water
came into San Carlos Reservoir so
that it reached it's maximum
storage capacity so far during the
present season of 29,8S0 &C. TT. on
April 18th. A new apportionment
of this increase is hereby made to
the 100000 acres of land within
the project and at the rate OF
1851 ac TT. per acre measured at
the source of supply.
This makes the total apportion-
ment for the Calendar Year 1899
to date of 1851 ac. it. per acre
measured at the source of supply
and subject to evaporation and
transportation losses.
In order that the land owners
may know what to expect as tc
the amount of water which may
be delivered to their lands out o1
the total amount at source o.
supply, it is estimated that 10 &C
it. per acre will be available at ths
farm.
This order applies to all lands
under constructed bitches ready
for irrigation, and the stored ant
the pumped water shall be de
livered in the same proportion pei
acre to each acre cultivated in sc
far as the physical conditions per
nit, and shall be subject to the
| basic charges and per acre limita
tions provided in the ordei
authorizing the assessment o.
operation and maintenance charges
against the lands of the project
The delivery of pumped water as
herein apportioned will necessarily
be limited each day to the ability
of the project to supply power fol
the operation of the pumping
plants, also to the ability of the
lands to make proper use OF the
water from the wells which car
be operated.
1t is possible that 'additiona
water will reach the San Carlo:
Reservoir and become available fol
apportionment later in the season
of 1899, and in that event the pro
ject landowners will be duly notl
fled in advance of any additiona
apportionments.
