When Ostler suggested the board fly the sub-contractor to Denver to get EPA certification, Lawson replied, "If she's interested in the job, why doesn't she do it on her own?" The general contractor who resumed construction of the sewer lagoon this spring spr-ing is H. K. Contractors, Idaho Falls. Ostler also reported to the board that the Uintah County Commission will help repair some stretches of valley roads ripped up to install sewer lines. Ostler said the county would help repair 2500 West between 1000 and 1500 South and 2000 North between 3000 and 3250 South, and may help repair South Vernal Ver-nal Avenue between 1500 and 2300 South. The board approved a balanced budget of $3,163,428 for 1982. On the revenue side, $1.8 million is expected ex-pected this year from the EPA, which is paying for 80 percent of the treatment facility. An additional $792,000 was expected ex-pected from EPA by last Dec. 31. The rest of the revenue will come from user fees. On the expense side, a little over $1.1 million will be spent to finish the project, pro-ject, which is about 90 percent complete, com-plete, and another $1 million will be spent on a sprinkling system. The board voted to immediately recapture some of the money from EPA, $85,000, or the agency's share of the land cost.
