The Ashley Valley Culinary Water User Association proposes its treatment treat-ment plant at Ashley Canyon. Neptune Microfloc requests that in order for the agreement to be drawn for this treatment plant the Ashley Valley Culinary Water Users Association must take several actions: supply evidence of taxing power and financial ability, supply 10 million gallon of water per day of Ashley Spring water, con struction of water intake and water main to and from plant, furnish 12-acre site, supply at no charge telephone and 460 volt power facilities, construction ' and maintain all-weather road and supply necessary building, usage and environmental impact permits. "This outline is intended to convey the general concept of our proposed agreement that will permit Ashley Valley to produce up to 10 million gallons per day of water at this time and expand that production as future needs require and still retain control of their own water supply. It offers an opportunity to do this quickly, inexpensively inex-pensively and without an original capital investment," reads Neptune's proposal. |
