The Central Davis Sewer District has reached that point, says Manager Leland Myers in announcing some rate increases effective March 1. Residential rates will increase by $1.10 a month while commercial rates will go up $4.75 a month. At the same time, a new fee will be increased to a e $750 charge. In addition, a 40 cent per month surcharge will be added to all homes serviced by a pump station, he says. Standard commercial connec home-impa- ct one-tim- tion rates will be revised based on winter water usage, Mr. Myers adds. Commercial rates for seasonal dischargers will be assessed on the average of the high three months and then will be fixed for the year. Industrial dischargers discharging process water will be handled individually. These rate increases apply for connections where Farmington, Fruit Heights or Kaysville provide maintenance. Rates where the disrict maintains the lines shall be adjusted accordingly. he notes. The district was set up in the early 1960s and provides wastewater treatment and maintenance of all main pipes for wastewater transmission to the plant. Facilities, including the plant and pipes, were built more than 20 years ago with original designs based on usage over a period. The treatment plants capacity is being exceeded frequently, Mr. Myers says. Some of the collection lines are being taxed beyond two-deca- their hydraulic capacity during peak flow. A master plan has been drafted to meet existing population and planned growth. User rates have been set based on equality of rates between commercial and industrial users and residential users; existing population paying for facility improvements to meet current needs; future development footing the bill for expansion. The sewer district board of trustees approved the rate changes. Further information is available by calling 451-219- 0. THURSDAY FRIDAY V: Syracuse has been broken in half as far as garbage pickup is concerned, says City Manager J. Michael Moyes. In a move, the city has contracted with Clearfield City for the service. The map indicates which areas will have pickup on Thursdays and those on Fridays, with most areas north of 1700 S. to be picked up on Thrusdays and south of there on Fridays. While praising Waste Management of Ogdens service over the past years, Mr, Moyes said it was necessary to make the change to contain costs. cost-savin- Commander to speak Students in Davis Area Vocational Centers SELF successful life survival course gain tips from instructor Linda Stevens, 2nd from right.

The Davis County Housing Authan thority says that by five years housing 1991--le- away--13,25- ss 0 units will be er. or Thats enough homes to old- fill Bountiful or Layton. The Housing Authority isnt at war with older homes, it just is projecting upcoming needs for repairs, some of them major, sooner or later. Some funds are received for housing rehabilitation, such as for new plumbing, roofing or electrical work. The pot only contains enough money for 8 to however. 10 homes, At the same time, hundreds of income residents are able to live in rental housing thanks to a subsidized program that covers part of the utility-ren- t expenses. At the rate of need for te this year alone thered have to be 300 more units added by 1991, Director Rosemary Davis theo- rizes. And if public housing needs were met at the same level as today, but Someone steals patrol car parked in driveway Davis County Sheriff Deputy Frank Bindly was LAYTON in a friends house for only five minutes - but that was long enough to have his patrol car stolen. It all happened about 9 p.m. last Tuesday when Deputy Bindly left his car engine running while he made a brief visit with another officer in Layton. The vehicle was left parked in the driveway and the deputy was going to be visiting only a few minutes. But thats all the time it took for someone police still dont know who - to drive the deputys car away. The marked car was found a short time later about a mile from the Layton subdivision where the car had been parked, according to Sheriff Brant -- - -- Johnson. d five years from now, 200 more units would have to be built, she says. Currently, waiting lists of from a year to four years are in place for rental subsidy. Requests for units are almost impossible to fill. four-bedroo- m The target population stood at 41,383 in 1980, the counor just above trend contys population. If that 61,000-plus tinues, there could be in the same boat by 1991. That's the population of Layton and Clearfield combined. The Housing Authority prepared ihis needs list or glimpse into the future" at the request of the board of directors. As was noted in the report, filling many of those needs even at currerent levels is a fantasyland quest. Uncertainty of federal funding levels for some programs also makes it difficult to plan with any precision. At the least, its figured the Authority will need three new fulltime staff members by 1991. one-fourt- h |
