Show Thursday, April 5, Fifteen Cents Bid Of $233, 71 7 Accepted For New City Water Tank Salinas City Council accepted the lowest of five bids for construction of a new city water tank at a meeting Monday night. Hall Brothers Construction Co., Hurri cane, made the low bid of $233,717 which was accepted. All five bids, opened at a special meeting last week, were over the engineers estimate of $217,000. The city will consider deleting some portion of the project to bring the cost within the estimate. Most likely deletion is an overflow pipe, a $19,000 item in the project. Construction is expected to get underway soon on the new tank, to be built southeast of the city near an old tank which has been abandoned. A grant of $200,000 was received from the state to aid in construction of the project. Several different methods of con structing and financing an underground pressurized irrigation system were described by Mark Peterson of Region West Associates, Logan. The firm earlier proposed to study, at no cost, possible ways for the city to build and finance such a system. The most feasible, and the approach which the council asked Peterson to investigate further, seems to be by requesting funding from the Community Impact Account, the Water Resources Board and revenue from water connections and monthly charges for the water. Provision of a separate irrigation system will be necessary in order to insure that the city has an adequate supply of culinary water, which is now supplied by springs in the Lost Creek area. Salina City also has a stand-b- y well, but the water from it is salty. Two 1976 Pontiac police cars, with about 50,000 miles on each unit, have been acquired by the city from the Utah State Surplus Property Department at $2,400 each. They will replace two cars presently in use. loader for the Purchase of a front-en- d city from the state surplus property department also was authorized. New Police Officer Craig Proulx, who filled the post vacated when Larry Miller resigned, was introduced. Fifteen business licenses were accepted. Robert Jensen served as acting mayor for the meeting in the absence of Mayor Leah Conover.
