Matt Packard, president of Central Bank, said that the bank made a landmark decision deci-sion last year when it agreed to make a $50,000 cash donation to the foundation. The donation represents the largest of its kind for Central Bank and will be spread over five years. It will be applied to specific building renovation renova-tion projects such as the south entrance phase.

If the bond had passed, it would have meant a $54 per year increase in property taxes for each $100,000 of property value. Businesses would have paid nearly double that amount. Many of the letters-to-the-editor in past weeks have indicated that people were worried about the water problems in the city. All over the state water has ' become an increasing problem prob-lem due to the past five years of drought. The city imposed watering water-ing restrictions again this summer and citizens have been conserving and helping with the problem. "Even though we have had record-setting record-setting heat this summer, the water restrictions the city has in place have helped to balance bal-ance the usage of water," said Lane Long, city administrator. admin-istrator. Due to continued improvements im-provements to the water system, the city expects to add an additional 2,000,000 to 4,000,000 gallons of water per day to the water system by next summer said Long.

The city council coun-cil can just vote to do so, but to put the whole city on secondary water will be costly and water sources have to be in place as well as getting it to homes who do not have the necessary pipes. The city completed a Secondary Water Master Plan in the summer of 2001, and those systems will continue con-tinue to be expanded as it makes financial sense to do so. Secondary systems currently cur-rently water portions of the historic downtown area and southeastern benches, some parks, the golf course and portions of the industrial park. New sub-divisions are required to install infrastructure infrastruc-ture for a secondary system, and these systems will be utilized to provide secondary water when additional sources sourc-es are developed according to Long. "Bonding has nothing to do with securing new water sources," said Long. "The city recently annexed an-nexed the west fields area and plans are to implement secondary water in that area by using treated water from the sewer plant," said Long. , The city has enough water rights to meet its needs until 2050. Spanish Fork recently implemented a secondary water system in the whole city. Citizens there are now receiving two water bills, one for culinary and one for secondary water. Citizens also asked about the Power Cost Adjustment (PC A). With recommendation recommenda-tion from the city Power Board, a group of citizens, the city council chose to keep the PCA in place rather than pass a rate increase and eliminate the PCA. This, the PCA, allows the total power cost to consumers to adjust based upon actual costs bm$ mm Electrical storm causes problems Last Friday night's electrical storm knocked out one of Springville City's largest wells.
