Book excerpt: In 1958 the City of Flagstaff filed an application with the Arizona State Land Department to appropriate water from Mormon Lake for the municipal water supply. Many protest letters were filed with the Arizona State Land Department, including: private citizens, churches that held summer camps near the lake, Arizona Game and Fish, and Coconino County. In 1972 the City of Flagstaff file applications with the Arizona State Land Department to appropriate water from 34 lakes and 2 tanks on Anderson Mesa. The water sources were deemed tributaries of the Little Colorado River watershed. It was proposed that various canals would be built to divert the water to Lake Mary; includes supporting documentation the City of Flagstaff used to make the applications. Correspondence includes: protest letters from ranchers who used water on Anderson Mesa for livestock, many with U.S. Forest Service permits, and protest letters from the U.S. Forest Service and Arizona Game and Fish.

Book excerpt: Preliminary documents concerning the first proposed sewage treatment plant for Flagstaff with additional improvements for sewage pipelines. Correspondence and documents concerning the need to improve sanitation problems in the Flagstaff area during the World War II years. The population in Flagstaff went from 5,000 in 1940 to over 11,000 people in 1944 due in large part to increased numbers of military staff at the Navajo Ordnance Depot in Bellemont. Their families were located in Flagstaff and Naval personnel were placed at the Arizona State Teachers College for the V-12 Training Program. Due to the pressure from the County Health Department, which conducted an area sanitation survey, Tom Bellwood, acting president of Arizona State Teachers College, and Navy V-12 program sanitation requirements, the City applied for funds through the War Production Board to obtain funding under the Lanham Act to construct needed sanitary facilities and pipelines. Included were: an extension of the outfall sewer line located in the Rio de Flag; a sewage treatment plant; improved garbage collection and disposal; construction of additional sewer mains and hook-ups; required sewer line hook-ups by homeowners and the elimination of privies in backyards; and the elimination of disease outbreaks due to poor sanitation. Lanham Act funds were exhausted by the time the application for funding was received by the Federal government in 1944. 1954-1956 correspondence concerning two sewage treatment plants owned by Williams Engineering, Phoenix, Arizona, that were for sale and possibly under consideration for purchase by the City of Flagstaff.
Download or read book Arizona s War Town written by John S. Westerlund and published by University of Arizona Press. This book was released on 2004-01-01 with total page 332 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Few American towns went untouched by World War II, even those in remote corners of the country. During that era, the federal government forever changed the lives of many northern Arizona citizens with the construction of the U.S. Army ordnance depot at Bellemont, ten miles west of Flagstaff. John Westerlund now tells how this linchpin in the war effort marked a turning point in Flagstaff's history. One of only sixteen munitions depots built between 1941 and 1943, the Navajo Ordnance Depot contributed significantly to the city's rapid growth during the war years as it brought considerable social, cultural, and economic change to the region. A clearing in the ponderosa pine forest called Volunteer Prairie met the military's criteria for a munitions depot--open terrain, a cool climate, plentiful water, and proximity to a railroad--and it was also sufficiently inland to be safe from the threat of coastal invasion. Constructing a depot of 800 ammunition bunkers, each the size of a 2,000-square-foot home, called for a force of 8,000 laborers, and Flagstaff became a boom town overnight as construction workers and their families poured in from nearby Indian reservations and as far away as the Midwest and South. More than 2,000 were retained as permanent employees--a larger workforce than Flagstaff's total pre-war employment roster. As Westerlund's portrait of wartime Flagstaff shows, prosperity brought unanticipated consequences: racism simmered beneath the surface of the town as ethnic groups were thrown together for the first time; merchants called a city-wide strike to protest emerging union activity; juvenile delinquency rose dramatically; Flagstaff women entered the workforce in unprecedented numbers, altering local mores along with their own plans for the future; meanwhile, hundreds of sailors and marines arrived at Arizona State Teachers College to participate in the Navy's "V-12" program. Whether recounting the difficulty of 3,500 Navajo and Hopi employees adjusting to life off the reservation or the complaints of townspeople that Austrian POWs-transferred to the depot to ease the labor shortage-were treated too well, Westerlund shows that the construction and maintenance of the facility was far more than a military matter. Navajo Ordnance Depot remained operational to support wars in Korea, Vietnam, and the Persian Gulf, and today Camp Navajo provides storage for thousands of deactivated ICBM motors. But in recounting its early days, Westerlund has skillfully blended social and military history to vividly portray not only a city's transitional years but also the impact of military expansion on economic and community development in the American West.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Cities in the arid West would not be what they are today without water and the technology needed to deliver it to users. The history of water development in Arizona goes hand in hand with the state's economic growth, and Arizona's future is inextricably tied to this scarce resource. Fuel for Growth describes and interprets the history of water resource development and its relationship to urban development in Arizona's three signature cities: Phoenix, Tucson, and Flagstaff. These three urban areas could hardly be more different: a growth-oriented metropolis, an environmentally conscious city with deep cultural roots, and an outdoor-friendly mountain town. Despite these differences, their community leaders and public officials have taken similar approaches to developing water resources with varying degrees of success and acceptance. Douglas Kupel has created a new vision of water history based on the Arizona experience. He challenges many of the traditional assumptions of environmental history by revealing that the West's aridity has had relatively little impact on the development of municipal water infrastructure in these cities. While urban growth in the West is often characterized as the product of an elite group of water leaders, the development of Arizona's cities is shown to reflect the broad aspirations of all their citizens. The book traces water development from the era of private water service to municipal ownership of water utilities and examines the impact of the post-World War II boom and subsequent expansion. Taking in the Salt River Project, the Central Arizona Project, and the Groundwater Management Act of 1980, Kupel explores the ongoing struggle between growth and environmentalism. He advocates public policy measures that can sustain a water future for the state. As the urban West enters a new century of water management, Arizona's progress will increasingly be tied to that of its ever-expanding cities. Fuel for Growth documents an earlier era of urban water use and provides important recommendations for the future path of water development in the West's key population centers.
