e o p y Los Angeles, February 6, 1952 1-7334 Mr* Wm. Reinhardt: (GO - Mr* £. 0. Berwick Mr* R* L. Adamian) In connection with study of State permits for ap­propriation of water from wells at Las Vegas, Nevada, Mr. Ren-wiek baa raised the question as to whether the so-called "Shop Well", located in Railroad Company shop grounds near Round House, could be utilised to fill R. R. Co. requirements in event the Las Vegas Water District takes over the existing R* It. Co. transmission mains. The following data on Shop Well and flow through meters is submitted for consideration: (1) Shop Well requires a pump. Measurement on January 8, 1960, indicates a flow of 301 OPM, or 433,400 OPD when pumping into top of water softener with 25# pressure at pump, or 65# pressure at pump when pumping against a closed valve. This flow would, no doubt, dacrease substantially with continued use since this well had not been used for several months prior to above measurement. (2) Shop Well constructed 1920-21. Casing - 0* - 236* is 12* iron Double X 236* - 700* * 10* * * * Perforations - 6 per 10* - 280’ to 290’ 6 " 10* - 5901 * 594* Ho filing made with State Engineer. (3) Flow through meters serving R. R.
