Los Angeles Plans 240 Mile Water System
The Angeles Cal Sep 1 reports a bold plan to tap the Owens River valley in the Sierra Nevada to create a 240 mile water system for Los Angeles. Engineers estimate 23 million dollars to supply a city of 2 million and irrigable land, with Owens River water possibly filling reservoirs, powering a municipal gas and electric plant, and aiding streetcar use. Ex mayor Fred Eaton has secured water rights, predicting annual flows around 20 000 inches and substantial revenue from selling water to ranches. The project would use gravity from an intake 8 800 feet above sea level to feed a canal, expanding beyond current Los Angeles river supplies from the Cadar Range and San Fernando Valley.
