    C O P Y MINUTES OF MEETING OF COMMITTEE SELECTED TO COHSIDEB QUESTION OF RAILROAD COMPANY OBTAIN* IMG ITS SUPPLY OF WATER FOR RAILROAD FACILITIES AT LAS VEGAS, NEVADA, BY USING SHOP WELL. ^ p MftR 18 1952 This committee met st Las Vegas, Nevada, March 4th, 1952, with the following presents A* Bybee, Assistant Superintendent, Las Vegas, Nevada Calvin Cory, General Attorney, Las Vegas, Nevada p. G. Martin, Division Engineer, Los Angeles L. W. Ashton, Bridge L. R. Haag, Asst. In duIsntsrpiecatlo rE,n giOnmeaehra, Los Angeles j. m . Anderson, General Water Service Foreman, Los Angeles R. L. Adamson, industrial Engineer, Los Angeles 3 , O’Bryan, District Foreman, Mechanical Dept., Las Vegas A. J. Scott, Plant Manager, PFE Company, Las Vegas 1. Hr. Calvin Cory will investigate the question as to whether the LA&SL Railroad Company has a vested right in the 2.5 CFS in Well NO. 1 in the water field, and therefore could require transfer of such water right to a newlocation.In any event, committee is of the opinion that effort should be transfer entire 2.5 CFS to shop well, and does not feel that Railroad Company should relinquish any of its water rights. 2. Committee proposes to start work as quickly as possible in cleaning out shop well and increasing *ts flow. _ It is our opinion that well, when pumped steadily, particularly in summer season, will produce only 180 GPM i® Jts present condition. Committee further believes that railroad facilities, including the railroad rooming house and PFE, will require a production of approximately 220 GPM. Therefore, we will re­condition this well so as to definitely determine amount of production which can be obtained from it. In event PFE obtains its water from the LVL&W Company or the Las Vegas Valiev Water District, then the amount of water required to serve railroad facilities, including rooming house, is approximately 157 GPM. These figures exclude requirements for all industries now served by Railroad Company. After reconditioning and test of shop well, layout and facilities required will be determined and estimate of cost prepared, and further report made.
