Olmsted Hydroelectric Power PlantPresentation By: KC Shaw, Central Utah Water Conservancy District
The Central Utah Water Conservancy District, acting on behalf of the Department of Interior, is constructing a new power plant along with new support facilities to replace the historic Olmsted Hydroelectric Power Plant and its outdated facilities, located at the mouth of Provo Canyon. The work will be concentrated in three locations-near the existing, historic power plant site, the pressure box/penstock area on the hillside north of the existing power plant, and the cliff spill structure, near the current Olmsted Flowline spillway. All work is scheduled to be completed and the power plant operational by July 2018. For more information go to http://www.olmstedhydro.com |
