Pryde: In accordance with your letter of May 25, 1936, we have made an examination of the water situation at Las Vegas, Nevada, report of which is rendered herewith; Mr. Jeffers’s letter of May 21st requests report on: 1. "Putting down an additional well, including the consideration of the necessities therefor and possibility of such action accomplishing the purposes intended by Mr. Bracken, and 2. "Renewing the pipe line; (a) By programming the renewals over a period of years^ or how it should best be handled? (b) Whether it should be renewed in kind or with cast iron pipe." Show below weir measurements of water produced by sources during years 19 3 1, 1934-, 1935 and 19365 no record of 1932 and 1933 being available; Julv.1931 July.1934 1 June.1935 !At>r. .1936 Artesian ¥ell 3,877,632 2,507,040 2,780,697 2,799,360 Big Spring 1,040,498 954,852 1,079,308 1,045,094 Little Spring 913,043 823.680 '1*035*163 880.243 TOTAL G.P.D. 5,831,173 ' 4,285,572 4,895,768 4,724,697 It appears from the foregoing that production from Big and Little Springs is comparatively uniform, large fluctuation being in Artesian well. However, it seems safe to assume a continued flow of approximately 2,750,000 gallons per day from this source with total gallonsge available from sources shown of approximately 4,700,000 gallons per day.
