Salt River Project offers a glimpse of its maintenance work at Mormon Flat Dam near Apache Junction in the Tonto National Forest. SRP relies on reservoirs and dams along the Salt and Verde rivers to deliver water to about 2.5 million Valley residents and provides power to more than 1 million residents. Matt Pendergraft, SRP’s director of hydro generation, explains that the U.S. Bureau of Reclamation owns the dams, while SRP operates and maintains them.
