Transcription
Mr. James Maxfield could be available to B.M.I. for emergency use. The availability of such exchange water would lessen the B.M.I. disaster risk. Also, the underground water would not be vulnerable to contamination in case of atomic attack and thus could conceivably prevent a complete loss of B.M.I. CONCLUSION My studies show that the capacity of the existing B.M.I. water supply facilities can be increased to 50 million gallons per day. This capacity is sufficient to suppy the needs both of industry and of the Las Vegas Valley Water District, for as long a period as they are now justified in providing for. Capacity can be economically increased as required. The plan outlined also affords safeguards to industry not now available. No detailed estimate of cost has been prepared but it is certain that the cost of the project would be several million dollars less than under any other plan which might conceivably be proposed. Respectfully submitted, (signed) RALPH W. 0’NEILL RW0»N:o Nevada R.P.E No 313 Civil, Hydraulic and Sanitary Engineer.
