| Built to take advantage of a 350-foot ‘head’ between Pathfinder and Alcova Reservoirs, available water is used to generate electric power. The reinforced concrete powerplant contains two 24,000-kilowatt generators. Construction features also include a conduit 18 feet in diameter and three miles in length; a surge tank 40 feet in diameter and 246 feet (24 stories) high; and a vehicular tunnel 17 feet in diameter and 1,700 feet long for access to the powerplant. | |||||||||||||||||||||
