Show Review -- Wednesday, March!), 1!)S8-Pag- e 3 Lindon council wants to keep water in town Several citizens and a group of scouts attended the Lindon City Council March 2 where concerns were expressed about the requirement of irrigation stock for development. Discussion centered around an ordinance dealing with requiring P delivery of irrigation water stock to Lindon City for subdivision or building approval. was to amend an The purpose 'ordinance to keep the water in Lindon. It will require the water stock without compensation but the connection fee would be reduced. City Engineer Dave Thurgood is working on a program to adjust the fees for requiring the water. The city wants the water to remain with the land, even where culinary water will be used as a means of water supply, in the event it will be needed to convert to culinary water. Lindon relies on four wells which have been drilled and equipped. They are financed through the enterprise fund. The users pay the cost. The connection fee allows new development to buy in. The service fee pays for the cost of operation and maintenance. The water utility does not use taxation. The city will require a share of water per acre. The City Engineer reported that is the amoung of water equated for a one acre parcel. If a developer is unable to acquire water he can contribute cash in lieu of it and the money will be placed in a fund the city can use to acquire water. Ray Walker expressed concern about the city taking all the water. He felt Lindon is penalizing the people, saying it will increase the cost of lots. The connection fees are already higher in Lindon, he stated. The council explained that the whole intent of the ordinance is to keep water from leaving Lindon. Some citizens have sold all their North Union water shares to another city. Mayor Ken McMillan stated that they are just trying to protect their water. Blackhurst explained there is no way we can force somebody to sell water to the city. Other com-munities have adopted like or-dinances and managed to preserve water for their community. "We can't lose the water without doing something," he said. Many find it difficult to use one half share on one half acre so they started using the culinary system and sold water generally to another city. City Engineer Thurgood reported the new ordinance is structured after the new State Supreme Court decision. If a developer sells one half acre he will give one half acre of water to the property owner. Where he uses the city water he will turn over the water share for his connection fee. The landowner either pays a fee and keeps the water or donates water and does not pay the fee. A North Union water represen-tative mentioned he would like the Council to sit down with his board and he felt they could offer help to the city. He stated they were ignored during the greywater system hearings. He expressed concern about water leaving the canal, saying there would not be enough water to irrigate. Some citizens felt it was time to do away with the one half acre lot and the mayor took a minute to ask how many would like to make a change. One citizen reported one half acre lots have been a waste of ground and city revenue. The city struggles with zoning and Lindon must revise the master plan. The mayor noted they will have to see if the city is ready for smaller lots. In other concerns, the Redevelopment Agency reviewed the contract with Mountain Fuel Supply for the Industrial Park Service. The gas main will need to be extended. The city will need two more connections within two years. If new developers do not connect within two years the Redevelop-ment agency will have to pay, but if they do the money can be recouped as new developers come to the area. The mayor reported it would be cost effective to raise the Utah Power and Light lines at the landfill and give more life to the present site. It was estimated the landfill has six more years of life if the lines are raised. " -i- i I, a ; IT .turf 'Z.nnx&r f I ,jawB; M I ; fV !' I . L t - ! j ivic Club donates...
