Provo Reservoir Canal Enclosure
North Central Utah
This project fully enclosed a century-old, open-channel canal, known locally as the Murdock Canal, within a 126-in.-dia steel pipeline. The canal snakes its way along the eastern bench of northern Utah County, just south of the Salt Lake Valley. It has been delivering water since 1911.
