Our wa^iaMMa water production potential at Las Vegas last year was 1 3 .^00,000 GPL, again*t m average daily deaandfor the month of August of 10,320.000 gallons, with maximum demand for a few of the hottest days reaehing about 1 3 ,000,000 gallons. Last year our service to several eeetlons of the oity was inadequate* and we are now enlarging two distribution anwooe is the oity proper. We have taken over service to the Boulder and Park P la c e Subdivisions, with 236 new users. We anticipate these tw o features will create an additional maximum demand of about l,oQQ,OO0 GPL, or a peak upon the hottest days of around lb,500,000 gallons. Last month, as an experiment we enlarged th e perforations! in five of our wells and developed a production of 17,300,000 p f artesian flow, an increase of *,H00,000 G?D over combined flowing M and pumping capacity of 19*5. Allowing 20* for well* temporarily out of eervioo and the reduced production which occurs in the summer, we have a dependable 1 *,2*0,000 02B of artesian production for 19 * 5 hot weather. with the increased production we could postpone drilling of well Sc. H , depending upon about 2 ,000,000 GPL additional!^ by oumolng, but with the continually increaeing production of water by others throughout the Lae Vegas Artesian Belt ana po&~ sequent gradual decline in pressures, we think if^advisable w proceed with the drilling of Well So. 11, from which we can reasonably anticipate about 2,000,000 &FD, thereby developing a good •gin of safety without the expense of pumping. i!!!
