Pomona Flood Control Reservoir Nears Completion Date
Pomona flood control reservoir is well along with Wo contractors finishing work and an operational date in late 1964 or early 1965. The project will halt flood waters from 322 square miles of the Marais des Cygnes valley and store 70 000 acre feet for pollution abatement while offering a 160 000 acre foot temporary flood storage. The permanent lake will support recreation and bolster water supply for Ottawa and nearby communities. Contractors List & Clark and Cook Construction Co work under U S Army Corps supervision with about 160 men, and an Overlook at Pomona provides viewing access via a new road from West 7th Street.
