The pumping plant, whichwill be situated about half a mile north of theDavis county line, will take its electric energyfrom a 44,000-volt line of the Utah Power &Light Company. The present designs of thepumping station call for four motors and fourpumps. Two of the motors will be of 900 two of 500 hp., operating pumps respectivelyfor the 300-ft. and the 150-ft. lift. 200 JOURNAL OF ELECTRICITY [Vol. 45—No, 4.
