PROVO RESERVOIR CANAL ENCLOSURE HOTLINE:  801.922.4344

The Provo Reservoir Canal Enclosure Project is continuing on schedule.  The pipe manufacturing process is nearly complete.  The mainline pipe installation process has proceeded beyond 80% complete.  Pipe has been installed from the Lindon/Orem border northward all the way to the Point of the Mountain.  A majority of the Provo Reservoir Canal corridor from northern Pleasant Grove to the Salt Lake County line has been backfilled, brought to final grade and hydroseeded.  Ames Construction Company crews are working on both sides of I-15 near the Salt Lake County line to install the steel liner in the I-15 Siphon.  Crews are also working to complete the Flow Control Structure and associated piping at the Point of the Mountain.  Other Ames crews are completing the relocation of utilities in Orem in anticipation of the mainline pipe installation in that city starting January, 2012.  The mainline pipe installation is expected to be essentially complete by May 1, 2012.  W.W. Clyde Construction Company is busy installing the parallel siphon pipeline next to the Olmstead Siphon in the mouth of Provo Canyon.  There are other construction projects occurring in that same area, making the mouth of the canyon somewhat congested for the time being.
