General Accounting Office








Contracts To Provide Space

In Federal Reservoirs For

Future Water Supplies

Should Be More Flexible

Before building future water storage space in
reservoirs, the Corps of Engineers and Interior's
Water and Power Resources Service must be
reasonably sure that the water supplies are
needed for municipal and industrial use and
that the user will repay the Federal Govern-
ment.

However, the Corps of Engineers provides fu-
ture storage space with little assurance of com-
munity water use and repayment ability. The
Water and Power Resources Service insists on
community repayment even if anticipated fu-
ture use never develops.

GAO recommends that both agencies adopt
more flexible, option-type contracts.
