Bureau of Reclamation representatives began meeting in 1956 with local officials about the feasibility of an Arbuckle water project.

These included an aqueduct and pumping system to supply water to area customers, The contract for this construction was awarded August 27, 1965, and the work was completed in 1968. The Bureau turned over the operation and maintenance responsibilities to the Arbuckle Master Conservancy District on January 1, 1968.〔
