pipeline; (4) a tee connection in the pipeline; (5) a 1,300-foot-long,
24-inch-diameter penstock; (6) a powerhouse with a single generator
having a nameplate rating of 560 kW; (7) a 2,400 underground
transmission line; (8) 4,400 feet of access road; and appurtenance
facilities. The City proposes to remove the existing generating
equipment and continue to use the diversion structure and pipeline to
provide an emergency water supply.
