Our summer outage focused on an inspection of the Agua Fria Siphon. This gave a rare opportunity for media to view both the “blow-off” to get the water out of the siphon and a walk through of the siphon before it was “watered back up.”

KJZZ, NPR’s Phoenix affiliate, was on hand for the blow-off on Monday, July 14. Listen and read the story here: Its aqueduct brings water to 6 million Arizonans, but most don’t know why CAP is so important. The story was rebroadcast by Arizona Public Media, NPR’s Tucson affiliate.

ABC15 took us up on an offer for a siphon walk through with a resulting story: Exclusive look inside the massive pipelines keeping Arizona hydrated and extended YouTube video: Look inside CAP’s massive pipelines.
