Even their weekly trips to Salt Lake, Provo, and Springville could become adventures, always seeking a new art gallery, restaurant, beautiful building, or garden. Richard loved to cook and try new recipes and share them with family members. He was always happy at family gatherings and could be found in the kitchen where all the action was and he was the master of the clean-up, always with a positive attitude. He was a warm, caring, and kind man who enjoyed life to its fullest. Richard is survived by his partner and husband of more than 30 years, Robert Peery King, and Richard’s two lovely sisters, Cindy (Robert) Bare of Taft, Tennessee, and Debra (Ryan) Christensen of Idaho Falls, Idaho; and an extensive family of aunts and uncles, nieces and nephews, and cousins.

No watering on Sunday to allow the system to recharge. In December 2021, the Board voted to establish different secondary and culinary water price tiers, that go into effect when watering restrictions are implemented. The new rate structures were created in part by considering the efforts made by the existing users in reducing our irrigation water usage by 40% during the 2021 irrigation season. Culinary rates were adjusted to discourage outside use. In normal non-drought conditions, the rate for usage under 40,000 gallons per month will not change. During drought conditions, which we anticipate going into effect around June 1, the rate will remain the same as the previous year for usage under 20,000 gallons per month. Usage over 20,000 gallons per month will see an increase. A good target for all of us, as users on the system would be 15,000 gallon per month, for each single-family home, and 10,000 gallons per month for HOA controlled PRUD neighborhoods. No culinary indoor water is to be used outside or on landscapes. This means that hoses must not be connected to any hose-bib on your house wall. We know this is painful, but the low snowpack this year leaves us few choices. As mentioned previously, these plans are preliminary and may change depending on conditions. We believe we will have sufficient water in April and May to get shrubs and trees off to a good start, and then suggest you reduce water gradually to avoid shock. Standard and Drought Shortage Secondary Rates: STANDARD Base amount up to Then from 10,001 20,001 30,001 40,001 50,001 60,001 70,001 80,001 100,001 Over 10,000 gallons To 20,000 30,000 40,000 50,000 60,000 70,000 80,000 100,000 120,000 120,000 $15.00 $ per thou Gal $1.75 $3.00 $3.00 $6.00 $6.00 $10.00 $10.00 $15.00 $20.00 $25.00 DROUGHT SHORTAGE $15.00 $ per thou Gal $1.75 $4.00 $5.00 $8.00 $10.00 $15.00 $18.00 $30.00 $40.00 $50.00 Comparable increases apply to culinary rates, and secondary rates for HOA-run developments, commercial accounts, and complexes. We hope that these modified rates will be fair to all users on the system, including all HOAs and PRUD complexes. Let us know if you have questions.
