The litigation centered on Summit County's water-concurrency ordinance, the widely criticized system in which the government requires that builders in the Basin obtain a 'concurrency letter' from a water company before they can build. Such a letter is intended to show that there is enough water available for the project. Summit Water made the anti-trust charge on the grounds that Summit County should not fun its own water company since the water-concurrency rules were in effect. In his ruling, Hilder claims that the group of defendants should be treated as a 'municipality,' which is a designation designa-tion that affords them benefits and exemptions that are outlined in the Utah Code. The suit, Hilder wrote, must be dismissed unless the plaintiffs can "in good faith identify anti-competitive activities" made by the defendants. The defendants in the case included: Mountain Regional Water Special Service District, which is the Tiffluntyron watery5ttm,SumrmV County Commissioner- ahauna Kerr and former County Commissioners Patrick Please see Olympics, A-2 Memorial Day marked with graveside ceremony Park City mayor delivers address about patriotism, citizenship Bv JAY HAMBURGER By JAY HAMBURGER Of the Record staff It was a mix of the elderly and youngsters who gathered at the Park City Cemetery on Monday for a solemn ceremony to mark Memorial Day, a holiday to honor Americans who died in battle and one that came this year soon after hostilities ended in Iraq.
