The municipal and industrial water supply for Los Alamos for 1979 consisted of 1407 x 10/sup 6/ gal from wells in three fields and 44 x 10/sup 6/ gal from the gallery in Water Canyon. Another 0.2 x 10/sup 6/ gal of water were pumped to waste during the testing of Well LA-6. About 3.7 x 10/sup 6/ gal of water from Guaje Reservoir and 1.3 x 10/sup 6/ gal of water from Los Alamos Reservoir were used for irrigation; thus, the total use was about 1456 x 10/sup 6/ gal. Water level trends in the wells were as anticipated under current production practices. Well and distribution system rehabilitation should be continued. The rehabilitation of older wells and drilling and development of new wells are necessary to ensure an adequate and reliable water supply for municipal and industrial use at Los Alamos.
