Gravity will carry the water though the pipeline, which will run from a pump station located just south of the end of the pavement on Daly Avenue to the Spiro water treatment plant on Three Kings Drive. It will stretch for 2.3 miles. The work started last fall, but most of the project remains to be done this year. The pipeline is expected to cost $4 million, with a federal grant funding nearly half of the sum. Clint McAffee, the Park City water manager, said the pipeline will carry water from the Judge Tunnel drinking water source to the treatment plant. It will be treated for antimony, arsenic, lead and other contaminants. McAffee said the pipeline is part of a broader effort to meet state drinking water standards. It will also assist in increasing the quality of water in Silver Creek and McLeod Creek, he said. Water from the Judge Tunnel has not been put into the drinking water system since the middle of 2013 based on antimony concerns. The pipeline route crosses approximately 2,500 feet of the Park City Golf Club. McAffee said the route will cross the fairways of holes 12, 13, 14 and 15. The route will run parallel to the hole 16 fairway. He said the work paralleling the hole 16 fairway is planned between July and September. The work involving the fairway crossings is expected to occur between October and February. McAffee said golf play should not be impacted, but golfers should expect the noise of heavy machinery and a temporary construction fence Continued From A-3 Tank is secure not been tainted, he said.

He said the cross-country skiing track on the golf course could be slightly modified while the work is underway. Workers, meanwhile, have started a separate project across Park City from the pipeline route. McAffee said the irrigation systems at the Quinn's Junction recreation complex, the North 40 field and a portion of the Park City School District fields complex will be converted so they tap a raw water source instead of one used for drinking water. Doing so lessens the demand on drinking water and frees up tank, pipeline and treatment plant capacity, he said. Heavy machinery is cutting a route through the grass across from the Wyatt Earp Way intersection. The project is anticipated to be completed in the middle of May. The work includes building a filter station below the ground just west of the entrance to the North 40 field. There are two additional waterworks projects planned. Crews will replace a pressurereducing valve vault in Old Town and move it to the small parking lot at the Main StreetHillside Avenue intersection. The work is planned in June. The parking lot will be closed temporarily. The other one, also starting in June, involves replacing approximately 400 feet of line on Rossi Hill Drive close to the intersection with Deer Valley Loop.

Potential state charges include trespassing and vandalism while a federal count of tampering with a public water system could be brought, according to McAffee. "It's absolutely not the place they should be. It's illegal. They're trespassing. It's dangerous," he said. Officials last fall installed a surveillance system as they augmented the security at the Masonic tank, McAffee said. He said a security camera attached to the Marsac Building can pan to the tank and zoom in on the facility as well. He said signs will be posted at the site warning people they are trespassing. The Police Department monitors the surveillance cameras. Phil Kirk, a police captain, said officers also patrol the trail close to the Masonic tank on bicycles. Kirk said officers who find people atop the tank typically issue a warning on a first offense. Further vio- lations could result in a citation or an arrest, he said. Kirk said police officers have written a few trespassing citations at the site since late March. "We get vandalism. We get graffiti on the tank," Kirk said. He added that underage drinking has been a problem there, but most of the reports have involved people admiring the view. McAffee said he is confident in the security measures at the site. He said state drinking water officials inspect the facility for security and other issues without having found problems. He described the security at the site broadly, saying there are alarms and thick steel plates guarding the lock to the tank. The lock is designed in a manner that someone would not be able to cut the lock with a bolt cutter or other tool, he said. "If anyone were to pop the hatch, we would know instantaneously," McAffee said. 435-214-4316 www.hartmanheating.com This is your last chance to enjoy storewide savings on fabulous designs for every room in your home - sofas, sectionals, dining, bedrooms, home office, and accessories!
