Show t 1 u . Volume One Hundred Six The Springville City Council recognized the need to upgrade existing infrastructure in the city and to prepare for the growth in the east part of the city as well as in the West Fields. As a result, they selected companies, through a bidding process, to prepare master plans for the various areas Set Miss The Miss Springville contestants contes-tants and their hostesses are preparing for the Miss Springville Scholarship Pageant 2001 to be held at 7 p.m. on April 14, in the High School auditorium. The theme for the program is based on a luau and titled, "An Evening in Paradise." Tickets will be available to purchase from any of the contestants contes-tants by March 28, and' are only $5 when purchased in advance. They will also be available from the pageant ticket sales coordinator, coordina-tor, Nancy Taylor, by calling 489-7919, or at Partyland, 565 N. Main, from 10 a.m. to 8 p.m., Monday through Saturday. Tickets can be purchased at' the door on the night of the pageant for $6, but with such beautiful and talented contestants, the program will likely sell out, so plan to purchase tickets early and avoid the long lines.

"Charlie" was loved and respected by everyone in the community. He had a special relationship with the students of Springville High School because he took their pictures for over forty years. Charlie gave most of the pictures back to the students as gifts. His pictures were action shots of school groups and activities. Charlie's widow, Maurene Lowery, has donated several picture albums to SHS of Charlie's pictures. These albums are a treasure in pictorial history of students from years gone by. Accepting the gift is Principal Mike Hicks. The school will keep the albums on the reserved list in the school library. s 1 1 ? - - of need in the city.

Other participants will also be awarded scholarships, scholar-ships, including awards for service ser-vice and citizenship, which are a main emphasis of the Miss America Amer-ica organization. The Miss Springville Scholarship Scholar-ship Pageant rewards young women for excellence in all areas of their life.

He reported that there are a few areas in the existing collection collec-tion system that will need to be up-sized, so development will need to be watched carefully. Pump stations will also need upgrades for capacity and for increased power back-up he said. Rasmussen explained that a new collection system in the West Fields was difficult to project since it is not known how the area will " develop.

Plans to mmim mmn snstiatiM Utah Power has proposed a project to increase the capacity of the Mapleton Substation, which includes installing a larger transformer, trans-former, replacing the present substation facilities with up-to-date equipment and rebuilding one mile of distribution line along Highway 6, and rebuilding the lines along Maple Street and 300 West. The substation, located at 1600 North and 1000 West, was originally built about 1950 and is connected to the Hale Substation in Orem to the north and to the Spanish Fork Substation to the south. The substation converts transmission voltage of 46,000 volts to local distribution voltage of 12,500 volts for service to Mapleton area homes and businesses. busi-nesses. From 1985 to 1995 the electric elec-tric demand at Mapleton Substation Substa-tion has been growing at about 8 per year. From 1998 to 1999 the growth rate jumped to 34; from 1999 to 2000, another 24. The transformer in the substation presently has a capacity to deliver 6.25 megawatts of electricity. Because of the growth in the area, the present transformer is delivering about 113 of its rated capacity at peak demand times. Utah Power expects that during the summer of 2001 the transformer would have to deliver at about 120 of its rated capacity. capaci-ty. Exceeding a transformer's capacity repeatedly, or for long periods of time, risks outages caused by overheating, which causes protective devices to cut power to prevent equipment damage. Overloading can also cause transformers to fail, which can produce prolonged outages while a replacement transformer or a temporary mobile substation can be brought in to restore service. The new transformer would have a capacity of 14 megawatts which will provide for grovt'" WIS 0 T5 i 84663 -March 28, 2001 There would also be a need for a new pump station on the west side of 1-15, at a cost of $4 million. "Over all, the costs to upgrade and build new infrastructure infrastruc-ture for the collection system will be about $&.4 million over the next 20 years" said Rasmussen. The Wastewater Treatment Plant is in good shape now, but with growth, there will be a need for clarifiers, a new aeration basin, new head works and new that is occurring in the Mapleton area and greatly reduce the possibility possi-bility of outages due to overloaded overload-ed equipment. v The existing substation covers an area of about 130 feet by 120 feet. The rebuilt substation will cover additional space of about 100 feet by 40 feet directly to the south of the existing substation. Utah Power's entire property, about 220 feet by 160 feet, will be fenced with chain link. In addition, Utah Power is working with Mapleton City to install landscaping and a white rail fence. Alternatives to replacing and enlarging the substation were considered, including enlarging other substations and building additional power lines. These other alternatives would be much more expensive and would not be as efficient a solution as re-building the Mapleton Substation. 1 v Cwf hip J Don't judge by the clothes.

The areas in which there are existing deficiencies will have to be upgraded and paid for by the city. Mark Christensen of JUB Engineering presented the Storm Drain , System Master ... Plan. "Storm drain systems are needed because development creates impervious surfaces where there were previously porous surfaces that absorbed rainwater and runoff. run-off. There are ditches and detention deten-tion basins now, and there will be more in the future, all of which will convey water to Utah Lake," he said. Data was collected and mapped using G.I.S. equipment identifying the existing ditches Calendar changes As a result of the Utah State Legislature action, Nebo School District has adjusted its school calendar for 2001-2002. New dates are as follows: School will start for teachers on August 13, 2001. School will start for students on .August .Au-gust 22, 2001. February 15, 2002, will be regular school day. High school graduations, May 21 and 22, and the last day of school, May 24, will remain the same. The State Legislature added two more days to the school year.
