The agreement wmgWe all water lines outride the city nmits except for some minor ones, to hTdlstrt DUt the city will'be given M.ast week's council meeting three 256 4 and the Gibson annexation 44.7. The district has apposed all previous annexations into the city and voted disapproval to the over 200-acre Pike annexation because of sewer lines being installed by the district in those areas. Although the water agreement allows annexation into the city, it doesn't treat the sewer problem. Bassett said. Several councilmen felt last week that both the water and the sewer issues should be settled in the suit or the sewer problem should be totally separate. According to Mayor Samuel Snyder, the agreement pivots on the district securing four-twelfths of Red Fleet water from Uintah Conservancy District. Ashley Valley Water and Sewer Improvement District has requested the water, but want it at the base of the dam and not through the Tyzack Aqueduct. |
