Jamie Lawrence Agent 581 Park Ave. 649-8071 THE NEWSPAPER is the newspaper to read Let's get a bit more iigm on the subject! HI, I'm Reddy Kilowatt, your friend at Utah Power. This column is devoted to common questions and suggestions we receive from our customers. You are warmly invited to participate. Questions and suggestions regarding electricity, your electric service, or energy conservation are welcome. Save on dishwashing Does an automatic dishwasher use quite a bit of energy? A Yes. In addition to the electricity required to operate its pump, there is usually a booster hot water heating element. An average dishwasher dish-washer uses 14 gallons of hot water per load; next to heating and cooling your home, heating your water is the second largest energy consumer. To economize, be sure that your dishwasher dish-washer is full, but not overloaded, before you turn it on. Scrape your dishes before loading. When rinsing is necessary, use cold water. After the final dishwashing rinse, and before the drying cycle begins, a small amount of electricity may be saved if you turn off the dishwasher and open the door, allowing your dishes to air dry. (Some people do not like to do this, because it can cause the water to leave spots on the dishes.) Frost-free vs. conventional Which is more economical to operate, a conventional or "frost-free" refrigerator freezer? A A conventional refrigerator freezer requires less electricity than a frost-free model. A 15 cu. ft. two-door conventional refrigerator freezer requires approximately 1200 kwh per year, as compared to 1800 kwh per year for a similar frost-free frost-free model. However, a conventional refrigeratorfreezer must be defrosted frequently to operate most economically. Many refrigerators have heating elements in their walls to prevent condensation on the outside. These heaters need to be on only when the air is extremely humid, so you can save energy if the refrigerator you buy has a switch to turn off the heaters. Address your questions or suggestions to Reddy Kilowatt, P.O. Box 899, Salt Lake City, Utah 64110. Due to space limitations, all questions and suggestions cannot be printed in this column, but each will be answered. Q0(E J AND LIGHT COMPANY Annexation Moratorium To Effect Deer Valley? m an awn iu Detter acquaint themselves with an already familiar proposal, the Park City Planning Commission met for a work session on Wednesday, June 15 with the Deer Valley Resort the only issue discussed. City Planner Van Martin first read to the members (all were in attendance) a summary overview of previous meetings where Deer Valley was discussed. The most pressing issue appears to be annexation. Apparently when the state legislature meets in special session this summer, a problem with regard to annexation and Salt Lake County is likely to surface. Should legislative action be taken in that dispute, a state-wide moratorium is a possibility, obviously affecting this project which is dependent upon annexation. Realizing the remoteness of this possibility, commission members nevertheless vowed to address the issue first and recommend that the 310 acres requesting inclusion be zone Estate, providing adequate water rights and proof of source can be established prior to annexation. Quite predictably, a discussion of water ensued and in order for any building to occur, the city must be assured by the developers that they, Warren King and Royal Street Land Development, will assume the financial responsibility for the installation of water line, meters and related facilities. It was pointed out that in addition to the sinking of a test well this summer, one reservoir in Phase I and another in Phase II are to be constructed with a total capacity of 1,020,000 gallons. The Planning Commission wants two parcels of land designated as fire Van-In Draws Slim Crowd Van-In organizer Mike Fannin, a member of the Mountain Desert Bad Vans Club in Salt Lake City says that he "lost his shirt" with his Van-In venture. "You make mistakes on the first one," Fannin commented. "Hopefully, I'll make up for it on the second one." Fannin cited late advertising as the main reason for the slim turnout, even though the event was advertised in several national magazines. He also felt the novelty of a Van-In in Utah kept the numbers down. By late Saturday afternoon, a total of approximately, 75 vans had registered, with many vans coming and going. Fannin said that he had hoped for 200, the number needed in order for him to have met his expenses. A $15 per van gate fee was charged as well as a $12 pre-registration pre-registration fee. The site for the Van-In was the large meadow in Deer Valley. The cost of leasing the meadow from the Royal Land Street Company was $1,000. Other pre-Van-In expenses included a $713 liability insurance fee, a $500 cleaning deposit and a $200 Main Street clean-up deposit charged by the city for an event which Fed. Grant Awarded For Mem. Bldg. Repairs A federal grant of $147,000 from the Public Works Program has been allocated to Summit County for the renovation of the Memorial Building. County Planner Max Greenlagh said appropriation of the funds was still subject to final approval by the Economic Development (EDA) but he anticipated no problems. Greenhalgh noted that "the building is in a bad state of affairs. Most of the money will be used to get the building in a workable and safe condition and to bring the building up to fire safety standards." He said a substantial portion of the funds would go into renovating the faulty electrical system repairing a Thaynes Reservoir Low City Manager Wayne Matthews stated on Monday that at one point last week the Thaynes Canyon reservoir was down to a dangerously low level. He cited the possibility of a fire arising at such a time as the main cause for concern. Saying that he "did not want to point a finger at anyone," he stated that the responsible parties had been notified and properly reprimanded. He expressed a great desire to avert any such reoccurrance in the future. the gypsy's restaurant m m FRIDAY AFTERNOON Opening for Dinner CLUB Friday, June 24th Beer and your other favorite NEW DINNER MENU, beverages available WIDER PRICE RANGES ON OUR OUTDOOR DECK 4 to 7 Located at the bottom of Main Street substations with the first to house both a pumper and fast attack equipment at the Lake Flat level and only fast attack vehicles necessary at the Deer Valey Station; the land is to be donated to the city. The question of hydrants heated up the discussion some when members could not agree on a policy which could best afford accessibility in the winter months when snow at the upper elevations of the project necessitate some sort of protection. Covered or heated hydrants were two solutions mentioned but no formal position was taken. The fire hydrants will be 250 feet apart. Even with the passage of the sewer bond, a question arose as to just who assumes the financial responsibility of installing a parallel line to the north end of town whould the magnitude of this development (1,800 units proposed) overload present capacities. It was decided this issue was for the Sewer Board to resolve. Determinating the number of lanes and width of the main entrance road apparently will have to await the final decision of the state highway department as to the specifications of the proposed new highway along the eastern side of town. Warren King is prepared to match those dimensions. Mr. King would also prefer to have some roadways within the project designated private but until state statues are changed, they shall remain public. With the hour growing late and more topics yet to be addressed than already discusses, the meeting was adjourned by chairman Burnis Watts to be continued Thursday, June 23. was moved from its planned Main Street location to Deer Valley. Fannin expressed certainty in getting this fee returned to him. A legal fee of $1,000 was paid to draw up a contract for the event. Some of the city stipulations met by Fannin in order to get a permit included: chemical toilets, a water truck, proof of extra police and a legal contract. Both the police and water truck stipulations were waived by City Manager Wayne Matthews, although the water truck was provided anyway. The diverse crowd consisted of some locals, Vietnam vets, mothers, children and people on vacation. . i , a - Scheduled activities included a "Show and Shine" contest in which vans were judged by interior, exterior and overall appearance. A Vankhana was held on Saturday afternoon. This event involves a timed race around cones with the driver blindfolded and the co-driver giving directions. A second is deducted from the final time for each cone knocked over in the race. A bluegrass band played on Friday night, the Smith Brothers from Salt Lake City, but the jazz band scheduled for Saturday cancelled. leaking roof. Part of the funds have been allocated for the construction of a new gym floor. The stage will be converted into, a handball or racquet ball court. A steambath or sauna and a whirlpool are slated for construction in the basement. The remaining funds will be used for general remodeling and decorating of interior rooms. If all goes well, work should begin sometime late this summer. A dispute over ownership of the building was resolved after weeks of arbitration last fall between Park City and Summit County. The building remained county property. Matthews said, "City Hall would appreciate each and every individual doing sprinkling to be conscientious of the use of their sprinklers." We feel certain," he continued, "the situation arose because of an excess amount of sprinkling." Matthews said although the city did not want to implement water restrictions, that such a step may, in the future, become a necessity. arm nnn.
