A. Boosting American Fork Hub of North Utah County Thursday, Oct. 31, 1968 City Council Discusses Water Needs at The Am. Fork City Council heard a discussion of water needs of Utah County projected to 2020, heard reports from councllmen, and requests from citizens as they met in their regular council session Monday evening. Parley M. Neeley, executive secretary of the Utah County Resources Development Committee, Com-mittee, met with the council upon invitation of Mayor F. Haws Durfey, Dur-fey, to discuss projected water needs of Utah County to the year 2020. Mr. Neeley emphasized that the committee heartily favored fav-ored the Central Utah Conservancy Conser-vancy District and the Central Utah Water Project. The committee was organized under the supervision of the Utah County Commission and is studying study-ing the water needs of the county with an eye to solving water problems prob-lems through cooperation of the cities of Utah County. Mr. Neeley pointed out that although we have real water prob lems which are notrecognizedby people, we also have lots of water and water rights. He noted that cities are now estimating their water needs in connection with the Central Utah Project, and have been asked to subscribe to sufficient water to meet the needs of the growing county areas surrounding sur-rounding the various communities. communi-ties. - " The state legislature has been asked to review the statutes cov ering a countywide water conser vancy district to provide a cen tral entity to be responsible for the water needs of the entire county. He said that water on irrigat ed land becomes available for other uses when subdivisions are built and other changes occur which includes changes of water use. Wells are not being used for irrigation of land, he said, and will be lost with the water right lost for agricultural uses within a given time. He proposed that under a central cen-tral entity, such as the county organization, or-ganization, water would not be lost by default, but would be put to work in other areas where water wa-ter was needed. He said that there are currently current-ly 250 wells which have been approved ap-proved and filed upon. If they are not drilled by 1972, all rights would be lost under a proposed state ruling. He illustrated the difference between municipal wells and agricultural ag-ricultural wells, noting that cities could condemn water and take wells for municipal use, rather than leaving them as agricultural wells. As a basis for growth figures, Mr. Neeley noted that the University Uni-versity of Utah study made for the Bureau of Reclamation was the basis for the report which his committee has made to the cities of Utah County. He went into the problem of future use of effluent water for reconditioning and reuse, as is widely done in other sections of Last Mom the country. He also expects that even well water will have to be treated for pollution within ten to fifteen years. In closing he asked that Am. Fork act to assure water for future fu-ture needs and noted that projected pro-jected studies place Am. Fork population at 24,000 in the year 2020, the year in which all water is put to use in the Central Utah Water Project. In other action, the council held a lengthy discussion with J. Earl Smith. Mr. Smith was a partner to a local contractor who failed to pay certain monies for special improvements required under the city subdivision law. The council sympathized with Mr. Smith's plight, but explained that the special improvements will have to be put In by the builder. build-er. Work on the project now in progress was continued, however, how-ever, upon consideration of the council. A check for $1,100 is being held in trust at the local bank to assure completion of the subdivision requirements. Mr. Smith was informed that he would have to complete curb and gutter and sidewalk only on the one side of the street where his subdivision is planned. Homes being built by Mr. Smith are in the $20,000 to $25,000 range. Elton Robb, representing the Am.
