Water supply at Los Alamos during 1976. Progress report
The Los Alamos water supply for 1976 consisted of production of 1691 x 10/sup 6/ gal from wells in three fields, and 41 x 10/sup 6/ gal from the gallery in Water Canyon. Water-level trends are as anticipated under current production practices. The production from the well field was from 15 wells. Well LA-6 is on standby status to be used only in emergency. The loss of this well has resulted in greater production from wells LA-1B, -4, and -5 in the field. The construction of a new well in the Pajarito Field has been delayed. An exceedingly dry summer or loss of a high-yield well during a peak demand period will result in a water shortage. Rehabilitation of older wells should be continued to ensure a dependable supply and efficient use of already established booster stations and transmission lines.
