"When all of the pumps are running, the line from the East reservoir restricts the flow to the point that not all of the flow from the spring can be used," the report reads. "As a result,' during the summer peak months when water is at a premium and pumping costs are the highest due to the increased demand, water is overflowing at the east reservoir." Also noted in the report is that a line which serves the south side . of town where there "has been extensive development" isn't adequate resulting in "extremely low pressure" in the summer months. The report points out that the city presently has a class 7 fire rating as a result of three primary factors: inadequate storage and an independable source of supply since during summer months over 80 percent of the water supply comes from the Bear River srings which must be pumped. Malfunction or a power failure could leave the city "essentially without water." The third reason for the rating is the fact that the main transmission line crosses the Bear River which is considered a "major geographic hazard. The engineers have estimated the cost of the primary improvements needed as soon as possible at 51,074,640. v That figure has to be a bit "depressing" as Councilman Harry Gephart, who oversees the sewer and water department, noted. The city is already in the middle of a project of roughly the same magnitude in upgrading its sewer treatment plant. . But the engineers held out the possibility that as in the sewer treatment plant project, federal funds may be available to assist the community. . The engineers sought approval to make a grant application to the Economic Development Agency created by President Ford which could, provide 100 percent funding.

The EPA which is providing of the funding for the project demands that the most econimcallv feasible alternative be used and supposedly would not participate with Garland if they should decide to go it on their own. Engineers and councilmen representing both communities have met a number of times in the past year in an attempt to resolve the contention, between the two. Tremonton Councilman Ben Dansie proposed Tuesday that the two councils meet together. But councilman Russ Webb moved that a letter be written to the State Board of Health asking them to act as a third party in resolving the dispute. "There's no way we can go ahead without resolving this problem," Webb said. His motion passed. The engineers noted that an impass can't be tolerated since Tremonton is subjected to a fine if improvements arenot completed at the plant. 7 WEEKDAYS PRESCRIPTION PRICESI Tre-monto- auditing firm has said the bookkeeping procedures are being handled properly. Representatives of Valley Engine-errin- g of Logan, Tremonton's consulting firm, told councilmen Tuesday that the State Board of Health has told Garland "several times they won't let Garland have a separate facility unless they can show it is economically feasible."

"If this is to be a joint use facility then we will have to act as partners and communication with each other is mandatory," the letter stated. The Garland Council also feels that past billings to the city for use of the existing plant "our in error" based on the contract between the two and that "no real effort has been made by Cross Roads Coffee Shop 9 to r4 Sewer County n western Box Elder County, Utah. The meeting provided the Bureau with the opportunity to obtain the comments of concerned citizens and those individuals who might be affected by the exchange. uals. The lands involved are in the Pilot Mountain Range areas. The engineers said they have been advised that Tremonton might qualify if it were included as part of the Ogden area where unemployment is relatively high. Another proposed financing plan would cause the city to raise its monghly water fee from $5 to $9 assuming a grant of $242,100 could be obtained from the Farmers Home Administration or the Four Corners Regional Commission. No action was taken on the report. But commissioners agreed to meet next Tuesday afternoon to go over it indepth with the engineers. individ- ment and private BE j IP CQID03CD '3aHr au.i GF a' l n ir qji ii OF 9F 1 QIVINQ SZRVICE SINCE 1930 1 East Main TREMONTON, 257-540- 1 UTAH |
