About 10 percent of Utahns obtain their drinking water from privately owned wells. For the most part these wells produce an abundance of safe, clean drinking water. However, privately owned water systems are not protected by law and their safety is dependent upon the private individual well owner's USU Extension specialist. knowledge and practices, said Kit! Farrell-Po"Utahns who depend on privately owned wells for drinking water should test their water regularly for contaminants,'' she said.

Many private wells lack these precautions, said Farrell-Powater quality authority. "As we head into warmer weather, it is especially important to test Disease-causin- g regularly for bacterial contamination of drinking water," she said. germs are a common contaminant in Utah drinking water, and germs are more likely to occur w ith more surface w ater and w armer temperatures. Other types of contaminants incluue minerals, metals, salts and organic chemicals, including herbicides and insecticides. Although not a common problem in Utah, nitrates from fertilizers, animal and human waste and industrial waste can be a threat to water safety, especially in fanning communities. Nitrates are dangerous, particularly to infants under the age of 2 because they interfere with oxygen transfer in the blood. Farrell-Po- e advises that private well owners have a thorough chemical analysis done of their drinking water every five years. Drinking water should be tested for nitrates at least every three years. Culinary water wells should be tested for coliform bacteria at least every year and preferably every three months. Water samples for testing should be in containers furnished by the laboratories doing the analysis.

Working with local people and involving those and before any decisions have been made, is a new operating principle for the Forest Service - one who's time has who have concerns, arrived- up-fro- nt - The National Forests are embarking on a journey called "Collaborative Stewardship". These are fancy words for "we're all in this together"! Our goal is to first provide for and rcstorc.lhe health of the National Forest lands. Without healthy ecosystems our lands will not be able to provide us with resources for very long, and wc will not leave a lasting legacy to our children and grandchildren. The second part of this goal is the recognition that people arc part of the ecosystem and depend upon it for their livelihoods, recreation, and spiritual renewal. Wc best serve people by listening to them, learning from them, and managing our natural resources within the sustainable limits of the land. The foundation of Collaborative Stewardship is to bring together people who care about the land and have them help the land managers develop workable solutions to problems and opportunities. There has been the impression by some that I decided not to implement Recreation Fee Demo at Fish Lake Basin due lo "negative public comments". This is a wrong impression. I will respond to this in terms of Collaborative Stewardship. The decision not to implement Fee Demo in the Basin was not a result of the negative comments. Part of being a Forest Supervisor includes bearing the responsibility, or "taking the heat" for doing what I feel is right. The reason I decided not to implement Fee Demo at Fish Lake Basin was that I had asked the interested people to provide me with their thoughts and ideas so I could consider them before making a decision. I received some insights and information that 1 would not have otherwise gotten, since we don't all w alk in the same shoes. None of us are as smart as all of us! The public w as a valuable contributor to the information and ideas from which I drew upon to make my decision. This is how it should be. To be truthful, up until near the very end I was leaning heavily to implementing the Fee Demo, recognizing there would be many who opposed such a move. The new information and perspectives convinced me to do otherwise. In closing, I want to emphasize that the Fishlake NF is try ing to include the interested public as much as possible, and before decisions are made. We are moving away from asking y ou to simply comment on Forest Sen ice proposals. We are now asking you to help form and shape our proposals. If you have not gotten involved in the past because you thought your input would not make a difference, I encourage you to give it a try now. We can't possibly make every one happy all the time, but will commit lo you that your input will be considered in the spirit that "we are all in this together"!
