Show 4A IrUosfiory Hdt WeetiCelobre-ivee- Review, Wednesday, Feb. 23, 1983 lakmid - Impact Widespread . . Rising Lake Level Threatens Birds, Farms By KENT SOMERS The rising level of the Great Salt Lake could cause pastures in western Davis County to become covered with waste water effluent, according to County Commission Chairman Glen E. Saunders. And, said Saunders, if the lake continues to rise next year, two South Davis Sewer District plants may be unable to discharge their effluent. The lake is currently at its highest level in several decades and will likely continue to rise. Saunders said both plants are located at 4,210 feet, but discharge the effluent at 4,206 feet. The lake is currently at 4,203 feet, and could go a foot to a foot and a half higher with spring runoff. Saunders said if the lake goes too high, the discharge from the plant could flood pastures in West Bountiful and West Centerville areas. The effluent is not a health threat, Saunders said. "Its treated water, but high in nutrients. The danger next year, said Saunders, is if the water rises high enough to block the flow of the effluent. Saunders said the Jordan Rivcaner and a al, which carries water through the Farmington Bay Bird Refuge on its way to the Great Salt Lake, are currently running at capacity. The bay is separated from the lake by the Turpin Dike, and the lake is only 10 inches away in some places from spilling into the bay, according to Brent Hutchings, management area superintendent for the refuge. Hutchings said rip-ralarge rocks and boulders, has been placed facing the dike to help minimize the damages.

Saunders said the canal would help protect the bird refuge by taking flood waters directly into the lake. The commissioner said the canal would also help Feb.

But, said Saunders, there isnt much possibility of doing much this year because of the high water. One solution that would help the problem is the construction of a bypass canal to help control the flow of storm water flowing through the Jordan River and Hill AFB, stated that American citizens of black ancestry have contributed significantly to the founding, growth and development of this country. He noted that they have given their lives in peace and war and played an important role in serving this country from the Revolutionary War to present, as well as having contributed to the growth and development of Hill Air Force Base. He pointed out that Black History observations give Americans pause to remember these contributions which are an integral part of American history. This week through Sunday has been proclaimed as Black History Week at Hill AFB.

He said some people thought the lake was drying up six years ago, and the lakes level depends largely on weather conditions. We just hope its going to be a good year out here. Were hoping to be busy. . I Right now were using the aqueduct, and we need to have a reservoir because Weber Basin will not let us use that water forever. The issue of forming the district has been in the works for four years but when the economy went sour, people had to find ways to pay for the system that would give them lower interest rates so the project was slowed down considerably, Lodder said. We may be able to get state money at 5 percent interest for those who must finance, he said. Citizens who contract for the service would pay for the installation of their own distribution line and the turnout line going to their property. A h line would be installed at a cost of approximately $14 per foot. The cost could be shared by a neighbor also using the line. Those who do not wish to participate would not be assessed a construction fee. But, if they wanted to join in at a later date they would be assessed the original construction fee plus additional costs due to inflation plus 50 percent of the original assessment as a late fee. The one time cost to property owners with acre of land would be $12. The annual fee would be $60. According to Mayor Neil Blackburn, the monthly culinary water bill should be lower for those participating in the district, since culinary water would not be used for outside six-inc- one-four- th irrigation. Another public meeting on March 15 will determine exactly how many want to participate. About 180 properties are involved in the area. Bill Wrigby, who is a citizen with many acres of farmland, stated that he doesnt want to be in the district, but he wouldnt want his vote to hamper anyone from getting the water who wanted it. it would not be economically feasible for some committees' for Roy Days activities such as a pageant and parade.

A bond election will be needed to finance the project to provide irrigation water to homes. Councilman Dennis R. Lifferth, committee chairman of the Centerville Water Committee, explained that the irrigation water will be under pressure and will be operated and maintained by the city. The district would include Centerville north of Chase Lane to the north border of Hall Harrison subdivision, excluding properties currently served by Duel Creek.

But Lodder maintained that many of the shares of water have already been purchased and at a lower cost than the shares will cost now and in the future. To the question was the area east excluded? Lifferth explained that 80 percent of the distribution lines are already in and paid for in the north area. The eastern portion could be included if there is enough interest but that would mean more money, he said. Lodder said that people who have already paid for lines on their street will not have much of an expense. Those who are new to the area or have not yet agreed to participate will pay more. Those who do not wish to become part of the district, Blackburn suggested, should sign a petiWhy tion. Written permission would be given to exclude them from the boundaries, so that in the future those who wanted to be excluded would not be able to claim that they did not get a chance to be part of the district. The schedule for the project is: preliminary engineering report, March 1, 1983; public meeting, intent to create, on March 15; public meeting, hearing of protest, on March 30; Water Resource Board approval on April 30; final engineering on May 30; bond election on June 1; assessments due on Aug. 1; start construction of trunk lines on Aug. 15; start construction of reservoir April 1, 1984.
