CAP System

Colorado River water enters the CAP canal from Mark Wilmer Pumping Plant via Lake Havasu on the western Arizona border. Delivering that water to water users in the CAP three-county service area requires coordination between departments such as Water Operations, Power Operations, and Resource Planning and Analysis.
