Show Universal Microfilming Box 2608 Salt Lake City, Utah 64101 Oooiity Oilizens Protest Well Filings Siy C.O.P A meeting was held Tuesday evening iu Orem to discuss the filing for 22 deep wells by the Bureau of Reclamation which would directly affect water rights of Utah County residents. The meeting was held with the State Water Resource Development Board. It has been disclosed tL's past week that three applications have been filed with the Utah State Engineer's office for permission to drill water wells in Utah County Coun-ty and the right to pump up to 35,000 acre feet of water annually annual-ly through these wlls. Local interests have protested the action, since the lowering of the water table would cause many artesian wells to cease flowing, thereby r.-quiring mechanical pumping at great economic loss to well users. Commissioner Roberts expressed ex-pressed his concern for the underground un-derground watr storage of Utah County, and asked that limits be put on action for filing by agencies agen-cies such as the Central Utah Water Project, which would then sell the water they acquired by such filings back to cities and individual water users.

Mr. Young reported on the activities of the committee, noting that studies were now in progress to locate hazardous situations, sit-uations, lack of grates on ditches or other factors which should be considered by the commission.
