Show 0 Irrigate American Fork Citizen - Thursday, July 31, 2(HM - Pape 3 Continued from front page Movie tag conducted studies and prepared the plan for American Fork. The research showed that approximately 60 percent of the water used in the city is for irrigation of lawns and gardens. At present, pres-ent, much of that outside watering is done with culinary class water. As the city grows, there would have been a need to add to the water supply to continue contin-ue to deliver sufficient water to its residents. resi-dents. With a pressurized irrigation system, however, the city would have nearly enough culinary water to meet its residents at ultimate ulti-mate build-out, anticipated around the year 2030, with a estimated population of 70,200. At the same time, the secondary water system would allow the city to use the surface sur-face water rights it has been accumulating as a condition of development and through a purchase from the Central Utah Project. That water could be stored in three reservoirs reser-voirs and used for outside watering during the warmer months. The new system would have 121 miles of pipe, ranging from four to 30 inches in diameter. The cost estimates for the secondary sec-ondary system include road work necessary to tear up the streets and repave them.' American Fork contracted to purchase 2,095 acre feet of water from the Central Utah Project (CUP). That water would be used in the secondary system. The CUP offered the city a $5 million grant to help fund construction of a secondary system, but City Council members voted to turn down the money, since it would have required the city, to relinquish 1,000 acre feet of water. Those residents who own shares of the American Fork Irrigation Company would not be required to relinquish their shares, but the means of delivery would change from the irrigation board to the city. Despain said other communities had triecl to take over the residents' shares, but were met with concern. 'The approach Highland used caused a lot of angst," he said.

While the story has an LDS base, it is designed to appeal to a wider audience, according to director Kurt Hale. Much of the comedy revolves around the mayhem may-hem that could happen when individuals volunteer to help others. They selected the American Ameri-can Fork site because of the room available to them for the entire cast and crew. Portions Por-tions of "The R.M." were also filmed in American Fork. "Home Teachers" will soon complete its filming stage and will then be edited. edit-ed. It should be in theaters in January. Some of the cast members mem-bers on the American Fork location were Mike Birke-land, Birke-land, JefT Birk, Wally Joyn- er and Chad Long. Birkeland and Birk are the home teaching companions, compan-ions, while Joyner plays the father of one of the families they visit. Long is the funeral funer-al director. Birk is a new face to Halestorm Entertainment, but Birkeland and Joyner have appeared in other of their productions. Long is from Murray, but lives in Los Angeles where he has been a regular sketch actor on the Tonight Show with Jay Leno for three years. He has appeared on over 50 sketches. Birkeland and Birk have appeared together in stand up comedy routines across the country. Former baseball base-ball player Joyner now lives in Mapleton and enjoys his forays into acting. Birk portrays Nelson Parker, a letter of the law-home law-home teacher who has been assigned to be a companion to self-declared lazy home teacher Greg Blazer, played by Birkeland. The two go out on the last day of the month and meet the family at the funeral home. "They come to comfort a family in the time of need," said producer Dave Hunter. "General mayhem ensues."

There is also a concern about water lost through seepage under the present system. There is also a tremendous tremen-dous amount of water that goes into the ground," he said.

Leonard feels that could best be used with a secondary second-ary water system. "If we don't do it, what is going to happen to the 2,095 acre feet of CUP water?" he asked. There are also safety concerns con-cerns about open ditches. They have been the basis of lawsuits. "What more or less broke the water company was the child in Highland that drowned (in an irrigation ditch), he said. Original estimates placed the cost of the secondary sec-ondary system at $17 million, mil-lion, but that amount included a potential $5 million mil-lion grant from the CUP in exchange for American Fork turning back 1,000 acre feet of water. The City Council decided to instead keep the water. "It is going to be costly," Leonard acknowledged. "If we are going to spend $17 million or more, why not have something the community commu-nity can be proud of?"

Hadfield added that those rights to develop needed to be weighed and kept in balance bal-ance with requests from neighbors. Planning Consultant Rod Despain suggested that the residents purchase the property if they were interested inter-ested in maintaining the present conditions. "You could also ask the city to try to acquire it (for park property)," he said. "The city cannot use its zoning zon-ing power to take land away." The request was for 10 town homes, which would be sold instead of being rented. The commissioners voted to table action, but it was not based on the petition as much as concerns that some of the requirements had not been met. That included a 70 percent landscaping requirement require-ment for the front yard. tor. Purchase - Debt Consolidation - Refinance - Zero Closing Costs - Problem Credit - Zero Down Stanley H.
