PLANNED CAPACITY

The proposed plant at Pilot Knob
as planned by the District, would
utilize the 55-foot head at the point
between the ALL American canal
and the Colorado river The plans
specify that The plant would have
an installed capacity of $4,000 XIV.
in comparison with a maximum
generating capacity of $500 XIV at
Drop No. 4 hydro plant. and 4800
XIV at Drop No. hydro plant.
Each drop plant now has one
unit installed requiring 2.600 second
feet of water in order to develop
the full capacity. Present irriga-
ton demands vary from a maximum
OF $500 second feet during the
summer months to a possible mini
mum of no flow such as might occur
after a very heavy general rain or
any combination of circumstances
which would tend TO eliminate for
a short time, the demand for irri-
CATION water. Owing to the pos
sible reduction Of flow in the ALL
American canal. the plants cannot
be classified as dependable capac-
ity." On the other hand, the pro-
posed Pilot Knob plant would op-
crate with water temporarily di-
verted from the Colorado river at
Imperial Dam and later returned
to that stream through the power
plant. Since this water is part of
the regular flow of the river be-
low Imperial Dam. ii would be in
dependent Of irrigation demand and
would thus furnish the District with
dependable power during times OF
Subncrmal irrigation demand.
