Completed in 1963, the eleven pump units can lift up to 10,670 cu ft/s (302 m 3 /s) of water – upgraded in 1986 from its original capacity of 6,400 cu ft/s (180 m 3 /s) across seven units. [32] From here the water flows briefly south along the California Aqueduct to the 4,800 acre⋅ft (0.0059 km 3) Bethany Reservoir.
