This portion of pipe near the new water tank will be wrapped with plastic to prevent corrosion from static electricity in the ground. A 14-inch Orem City water line crosses the two pipes just beyond the left portion of this photo. The backhoe on the left may appear small but two 7!2-cubic yard scoops will fill a large dump truck. The $750,000 piece of equipment was purchased especially for this project and took five semi-trucks to haul it here. The 15 million gallon water tank is visible visi-ble in the upper part of the photo and the water treatment plant is to the left. By Jeanne Thayne A three year project nearing completion in northeast Orem will assure ample water for Orem's citizens for the next 20-25 years, says Don Cole, field engineer for the U.S. Bureau of Reclamation. Starting at the new 15 million gallon water tank above the Orem City Ci-ty Cemetery, the 17-mile project cuts a 50-foot wide swath across the valley through orchards and back yards ending at the Point of the Mountain. All work on the north end of the project pro-ject has been completed. The final 14 mile should be completed com-pleted by January or February, says Cole. When it is done, there will be little lit-tle to show that the two pipes, a 72-inch and a 48-inch line, are buried there. At present, however, residents in Skyline Meadows and Mountain Oaks neighborhoods are counting the days until the huge orange-colored pieces of earth moving equipment are gone and they can return to the task Donation rewards BYU for innovative system Recognizing BYU's achievement as the first university in the United States to develop and implement a touch-tone telephone registration system, Perception Technology has donated a $125,000 computer to Admissions Ad-missions and Records. The Massachusetts-based company com-pany supplied the original computer system that in 1984 freed students from long registration lines, allowing them to register for classes using a telephone. "We appreciate the leadership of Dean Robert W. Spencer and his staff in developing this system," said Provost Pro-vost and Academic Vice President Jae R. Ballif . "It has become a model for the rest of the United States and has set a standard in higher education." Dean Spencer said the new equipment equip-ment will be used to expand touch-tone touch-tone service into such areas as admissions, admis-sions, financial aids, academic advisement, ad-visement, graduation clearance and grade distribution.

Before moving into the area the project contractor fenced the yards of several new homes in the area. They also compensated the Gillman family fami-ly for about a block of orchard which had to be bulldozed. A sprinkling system which was ripped out will be replaced. The larger pipe will bring water from Jordanelle Reservoir to Salt Lake City and ends at the Bluffdale-Jordan Bluffdale-Jordan Water Treatment Plant. The smaller line will benefit Orem City and eventually Alpine, Cedar Hills, Lehi, Highland, American Fork, Pleasant Grove, and Lindon. It provides pro-vides the connecting link between the Orem Treatment Plant and the new water tank. The cost is about $25,000,000. Dipaolo-Rossitti Joint Venture out of Chicago, El. contracted the whole project pro-ject but most of the laborers are local. The general foreman is Gary Backus Registrar Erlend D. Peterson said BYU worked up a prototype of its system on an Apple computer and then began shopping for a computer supplier that could offer the capacities and features needed to register BYU's 27,000 students. Perception Technology, which had been working mainly with banks and other businesses, responded favorably. Working with BYU personnel in 1983, the company provided a minicomputer mini-computer with an internal custom software program that responds to touch-tone signals. This computer was made available at a special educational research price to pioneer the registration application, Peterson said. Now, 18 other universities have followed BYU's lead and are using or are close to using touch-tone telephone registration systems. As he presented the new computer com-puter recently to President Ballif and Dean Spencer, John Olmsheid, national na-tional marketing representative for higher education, said: "We at Perception' Technology are deeply appreciative to Brigham Young University for bringing us into in-to the higher education market. ... Because of their pioneering leadership leader-ship and the example they have been to all higher education, we have now developed a market in supporting higher education."

The plant is under the direction of the Central Utah Water Conservancy Conservan-cy District which then "wholesales" water to Orem City and other municipalities. At present Orem's water comes from Deer Creek Reservoir, Reser-voir, but with the completion of the aquaduct future water will come from the planned Jordanelle Reservoir. scorn Compare Our Prices!
