Reservoir reborn to supplement supplyA nearly forgotten water resource in a remote part of theMogollon Rim has become a valuable asset for the Town ofPayson, Gila County and SRP.C.C. Cragin Dam and Reservoir is back in the water deliverybusiness as a result of a four-year, $13.3 million renovationto pipelines and other infrastructure. The facility, originallycalled Blue Ridge, was constructed by mining companyPhelps Dodge in 1965 and obtained for SRP in 2005. Thedam and reservoir were renamed for Charles C. Cragin,SRP’s general superintendent in the 1920s and ’30s.The acquisition was possible when the Arizona WaterSettlements Act became law. The largest water rightsagreement in U.S. history resolved a complex web of claimsinvolving more than 3 million residents of Maricopa, Pima,Pinal and Yavapai counties and millions of acre-feet of water.The revitalized Cragin reservoir satisfies obligations to theGila River Indian Community and supplements the GilaCounty and SRP water supply.SRP 2011 ANNUAL REPORT9
