THURSDAY, JUNE 2C, c 1965-Vol- v N if L-- 4 V 22 -r. 00 out of After several discussions on what steps could be taken, Councilman Wiseman moved to change watering hours from the present 6:00 a.m. to a.m. and p.m. to p.m. This will cut the watering hours from 15 hours per day to eight, and at times when there will be less loss to evaporation. Mayor Pettey said that attempts to change hours in previous administrations had proven not to be a bene -fit. However, Council determined it was worth a try. All agreed that water meters are the only solution to making residents not waste water. And every effort is being made to get water meters installed as fast as possible. They agreed to hire Dale Rogers and Ted Bridge to install meters 90 if - ' I 5 'r ? t - S n at a cost of $15.00 per meter. They kept Terry Boone on temporary employment with the city, installing meters on a per hour basis. Editor Red Wilson told the Council that if they really want to get everybody on water meters, they need to set realistic water rates. There Is no Incentive for people to sign up for water meters, he said, with a water meter rate of $15.00 per 15,000 gallons base, when you can have an unlimited supply of water for $19.00 per month on a flat rate. He recommended that the city set a base rate on metered water of $15.00 for 30,000 gallons and raise the flat rate to $50.00 per month. 'I don't know what the right figures are, anymore than you do.

Mayor Pettey and Council said nobody was being charged by meter readings and all were still on a flat rate. We don't know yet what the final rate structure will be. Mayor Pettey said that his budget proposal, to be submitted on June 26th in a special budget meeting would contain two water rates. One will be as is presently and the other will be a raise. He did not go into detail on what raise would be recommended. Water meters will still be installed free for residents who sign up and pay for their water meter before July 1st.

"But we need the help and participation of all Beaver County residents to make It a success." Plan now to be a part of the 1985 Bea- ver County Fair. We planned a couple of editorials this week, but time is running short until press time, and the ol' Redhead is tired. So you will find them lightly touched upon in "Between". -- 0 First off, the ol' Redhead has been bombarded with complaints about the water meters and water meter rate. Well, from where we sit, there is no question that Milford needs water meters. We've advocated such since coming to Milford In 1970. Arguing about the property owners paying for the meters Is irrelevant, since the city has no money except what It gets from property owners. So, whether the city bonds or requires property owners to foot the bill Individually is a trade off. -- 0 But establishing a water meter rate is an entirely different jrtory. And we certainly don't agree with the present rate established last year by the Pepsi Cola kids. The basic gallonage, regardless of the basic fee, roust be adequate for an average family to maintain their household, plus a reasonable yard and garden, with prudent use of water. The present rate of 15,000 gallons for $15.00 does not do this. The next 15,000 gallons costs 50 cents per thousand. -- 0 Now, the problem with this formula is that it will create a hard- - mm All Beaver County girls between the ages of 17 and 26 by September 4, 1986 are invited to fill out an entry blank and become a contestant for Beaver Countv Fair Queen by The Change Saldle Face requires the riders to charge sildles and horses after each circle of the track.

The average is nearly 1,500,000 gallons per day or nearly 1,000 gallons per day for every man, woman and child In the city. The cost is prohibitive, as well as putting a real strain on the 1.9 million gallon storage capacity, and on the Waterm aster to keep everything operating. Bridge told the Council that, "something must be done to cut the water use." He said, "at that rate, if we were shut down for eight hours for repairs, the city would be 4 One of the aided attractions is, the Change Saldle Pace, with three horses, two rilers and a handler to each team.

Just Between You And n 3 tki fa I f The first of three big Beaver County Race Meets will be hell in Beaver on Saturday, June 22 aMthe i J Overuse, waste and water loss are straining the city water system to keep up during the unprecedented hot weather in June, forcing the City Fathers to take drastic measures to curtail watering hours, and issue citations to violators. And citations didn't just go to local residents. Out of nearly 40 citations that have been issued by the Beaver CountyMetro, those cited include Milford City, Beaver County School District and even the City n :M i,7 i;A!l 25 85-- N". ume vrx - . Vg?.. J ot Boom Efcsa rce!i this f oturey - - ship on many residents, particularly those on a fixed Income. To avoid paying for over the basic 15,000 gallons, some will let their beautiful yards and gardens go. We don't like to think of this desert oasis without trees, flowers, and beautiful green lawns. This can easily be changed by Increasing the basic gallonage to 30,000 gallons or more. This would be more In line with other communities. Milford must Understandably, pump all Its water. Pumping Isn't cheap. Milford also has one of the highest per capita water consumption in Utah. Much of which Is wasted, or is lost through leaks In either the city's or homeowners system. Water meters will quickly expose these leaks wherever they are. Home owners and the city will quickly fix those leaks, dripping faucets, and the cost of pumping will go down drastically. The best use of water will be common place. There will be little need for citations or waterlnghours, when everyone pays for what they use. But minimum gallonage must be set high enough to allow for adequate water fortheavei age home with prudent use. Even 30,000 gallons Is far less than most communities allow during Irrigation season. -- 0 No we don't pretend to know what the basic fee should be. But $15.00 for 30,000 gallons Is a good place to start, we believe. But If it needs to be adjusted up or down after a year of sealing leaks, then so be it. During the Interim the flat fee should be raised to sufficiently Induce residents to get their meters Installed. So be ltl Ye ol' Ed has made this argument several times to Mayor Pettey and the Pepsi Cola Kids, to no avail. But we believe we're right! Mayor Pettey has promised the to proposed budget he will present the Council Wednesday, June 26th will contain two water fee proposals. the One will be just what we have other will constitute a change. If you agree with the ol' Redhead Its time now to let your voice be heard, and at the budget meeting, next Wednesday. Your silence will voice approval of the present rate. 0 - Secondly, but not less important Is the recreation complex.Mllford's pool Is a disaster areal It's doubtful If they can keep It open the full season. Like many of our readers we don't use the poo', and probably never will. But we believe its an asset to our community just like the parks, streets, golf course, schools, and yes, even city hall. We know Milford will not go long without a pool. Just close it down and listen to the howl. Now we believe the proposal of the Recreation Committee Is a good one. It not only provides for a pool in Beaver, Mlnersvllle andMllford, but allows a certain amount of local control over the facility to be built. It is just as stated In last week's Beaver County News, and repeated by myself at the City Council meetThe formula is as ing Monday. follows: SOURCE OF MATCH FOR CIB GRANT Total Milford School District $150,000 Split Beaver County $100,000 Milford and Spilt 50-Bureau of Recreation $150,000 Spilt Milford 25,00 per year for 2 years $65,000 20 50 $50,000 Beaver $50,000 50 Union Pacific $50,000 $215,000 50,000 or 100,000 Community Impact Grant $315,000 $315,000 Total $630,000 -- 0 Beaver and Mlnersvllle would share total monies from the School District, County and Bureau of Recreation, plus their minimum local match, and all three may add to their match as much as they want to get the facility they want to pay for.
