It consists of the following works: --The Upper Crystal Spring Reservoir (in course of construction) will contain 4,000,000,000 gallons, but when the system is completed by throwing a lower dam across the outlet of the Main Valley 38,000,000,000 gallons can be stored, with its surface 305 feet above tide.
