Show Gov. presents $25,000 check to Vernal City Gov. Scott M. Matheson presented a check to Vernal City last week, Oct. 16 for $25,000 as partial payment for a grant of $41,409 to the city from the Four Corner Regional Commissioner (FCRC) for a culinary water line loss evaluation. evalua-tion. During the last several years considerable attention atten-tion has been focused on culinary water use in Ashley Valley. Vernal City Ci-ty presently operates in conjunction with several other entities, the water system which services 63 square miles. During a preliminary investigation, funded by the FCRC in 1979, two of our nine zones in the culinary water system were discovered having a combined leakage potential poten-tial of 330.6 million gallons a year. The total value to the city of this lost water through underground leads is over $165,300. This grant will provide Vernal City with the funds to locate the leaks, dig them up and repair them. It will also assist with the location of all valves and operational testing, provide a water system map and lead survey for two additional zones. |
