The Priest Veer Dim The Lest 102 Years By ROSEL YN KIRK Utah is suffering from the driest year of record for the 102 years. A a result Wayne Winegar, manager of the Weber Basin Water Con- last servancy District says his Elder-ad- o gest music conventions held in the United States. Much national attention has also come from the bands album releases during the last two years. Their latest album is entitled To America With Love. Reviews of this album have come from all parts of the country' message is conversation. MR. WINEGAR says the water district, through their accumulated water reserves could make their current commitment to users in 1977, but, if they did, reservoirs would be drained and not even drinking water would be available in 1978. He is hopeful that users will hold back in their demands for water this summer to hedge against next year. He said, if water sources are depleted this year, the water reserves could not be replenished next year even with a severe winter. It might take 10 years to replace current water reserves. If 1978 were a dry year also, there would be no water. Mr. Winegar says the water district has no political power and will have to supply water to contractors if requested. The use of water can be controlled only through municipal and county governments who will need to enact ordinances regulating water. Mr. Winegar said the water situation probably will not improve even if big snows occur between now and spring. The group is so dry it will suck up most of the water. He does not anticipate much runoff in the spring. He pointed out the irony that in the past 10 years the central Davis County water problem has been how to get rid of flood water. MUNICIPAL water users be by contract, supplied first, with farmers musi, taking their proportional share of the water that is left. Although Weber Basin is not authorized to decide which water use is most important, minimal home use will come first. Mr. Winegar feels the second priority should be agricultural use to raise crops, with lawns taking a poor third. Lawns and shrubs may not be as green as we like them, but they can be kept alive if they are watered weekly, Mr. Winegar said. Municipal ordinances could regulate DISCOUNTS at $5,975 and the other at $6,082. Commissioners were unsure whether this price included electric rear window defrosters, which were included in the specifications. COMMISSIONERS Flint and Zaugg determined that if the low priced car were not available with the specified electric window defroster, they would go with the bid from E&M Ford for the same model offered for $6062. Commissioner Flint said the E&M Ford bid met all the specifications. The second low bid would only be accepted, he said, if commissioners NOW IN EFFECT ON THESE CHEVROLETS Truck no. 382.

In other business Commissioner Zaugg said he had contacted Ron Stacey, an independent contractor in Clearfield who had indicated his willingness to speculate on constructing a building to house the juvenile court on county property just east of the County Sheriffs Office. OFFICIALS from the Utah State Juvenile Court system had met with commissioners last week to ask for room in the new courthouse addition. Commissioners had said they feared there would be no room, but agreed to take under consideration the tract. Commissioners agreed to meet with County Attorney Milton Hess in the meantime to check the legality of the proposed construction, rk was recently purchased.

THIS YEAR, the recommendation is to conserve every drop of water we can and hold as much water as possible in the mountain reservoirs above.

Mr. Winegar said that in the last 25 years, except for 1961, the district has delivered all the water needed to the five county area. Six reservoirs and five canals provide water to over 12,740 acres of land in the five county area. In addition, eight deep wells support the sys- TUESDAY, MARCH 1, 1977 Davis County Animal Control personnel will be going Ushers will have to pay for water even if there is none available the second year. Weber Water is on a 60 year contract with the federal government and is obligated to pay 1 million dollars a year on the debt. Once a city contracts with the district, they must pay for the water whether they get it or not. We have no other alternative but to demand the money, Mr. Winegar said. THREE FEET of water per acre are needed to raise a crop and farmers in Davis County are concerned now about what to plant. Although sugar beets have a higher yield per acre, they take longer to mature and so need more water, Mr. Winegar said. Barley doesnt need as much water, but does not yield as big a profit. Mr. Winegar said farmers located at Willard Bay are in better shape than most because water stored there can be pumped back for farm use. Watkins Dam has converted a shallow bay of the lake into a fresh water lake. Run-of- f water is diverted into the bay to be pumped back to water crops in the lower part THIS WATER would be a real asset to a limited area, Mr. Winegar said. But the real conservation can be practiced by municipal water users. Were better off to suffer with our lawns this year than with drinking water next year. The district recommends some simple conservation methods such as checking for leaking faucets, not showering too long or not leaving the water running to wash hands or brush teeth. They suggest that dishwashing and clothes washing machines should be completely filled before running. Toilets should not be used as a trash can to flush away tissues and other scraps. Every flush takes five to seven gallons of water, rk door-to-do- or soliciting licenses after this date.
