In order to augment the existing water supply of the California Water Service Company serving sections of the industrial area along Suison Bay in Contra Costa County, California, the company early in 1929 recognized the importance of a major project to be developed in steps, or as the demand for water increased from time to time. This project was named for C. T. Chenery, President of the Federal Water Service Corporation and the owner/breeder of record for Thoroughbred horse racing's U.S. Triple Crown champion Secretariat. The author was in charge of the project.
