Transcription
In the light of the foregoing, the data and projects developed hereunder have been subdivided under the following headings: (1) Water Storage and Distribution Projects for the Las Vegas Urban Area. (2) Water Supply from BMI to Las Vegas. (3) Intakes on Lake Head (4) Water Supply from Lake Mead for Las Vegas Urban Area. 9.1 Water Storage and Distribution Project for Las Vegas Urben Area - For the most part water distribution and storage requirements were determined for the year 1970. Because areas of future development are not known, it is not considered advisable to plan beyond that date. For certain portions, even this 20-year perios is too long, and anticipated improvements should be deferred until the need is established. Storage should be provided to meet the deficiencies in the supply works for rates of consumption over and above the design rate of flow. Storage can be divided into three classifications, as follows: (1) Storage of Lake Mead water for maximum day or maximum week conditions, whichever is greater. (2) Operating storage for hourly variations in flow (3) Fire reserve storage.
