concrete tunnel; (3) a 11,400-foot-long, 24-inch-diameter steel 
pipeline; (4) a tee connection in the pipeline; (5) a 1,300-foot-long, 
24-inch-diameter penstock; (6) a powerhouse with a single generator 
having a nameplate rating of 560 kW; (7) a 2,400 underground 
transmission line; (8) 4,400 feet of access road; and appurtenance 
facilities. The City proposes to remove the existing generating 
equipment and continue to use the diversion structure and pipeline to 
provide an emergency water supply.
