City applies for drought relief to repair, improve water works Nephi City has applied to the Utah State Water Resources Department for a drought relief grant of $37,000 to help alleviate water problems in the city, the cently. Times-New- s learned re- The grant will be used to put Marsh Canyon water into the Rees Flat system and to make other developments which will give Nephi City an improved water system for culinary use and for meeting the citys obligation of water exchange with the Nephi Irrigation Company, City Recorder Evan A. Frampton said Tuesday. The application for drought relief assistance calls for the development of Monument Springs in addition to a pipe line repair and replacement, the piping of Ord Springs to a point where it can be used for exchange water with the irrigation company and to repair the head house at Bradley Springs, the city's chief water source. Bradley Spring is currently delivering 1.1 to 1.7 million gallons of water each 24 hours, just enough to take care of the culinary and sprinkling requirements of the city, Frampton said. As temperatures increase, however, it is possible that the citys wells will need to be used to fill the needs of the community, Frampton pointed out. City officials deeply appreciate the water conservation efforts of the citizens of the community Frampton said, But we need a greater voluntary compliance by some. Sprinkling hours have been published on three different occasions and city residents should be familiar with them, he pointed out. City officials have stressed that the hours set are strictly voluntary, but if the water situation becomes more drastic as the season advances, it may be neccessary to enforce more strictly the sprinkling times or cut lawn sprinkling entirely, Frampton said.
