Hot 13?7 EPA To Assume 75 snlt LVc Percent P iuuS Sewer Prefect Plans for the $4.7 million regional sewer project were accented this week by allegations that American Fork City was dumping raw sewage into Utah Lake. Before the ink had dried on the county commission resolution to put the proposed four-cit- y plant on the November general election ballot, EPA officials made their allegations. The charge that the city was using a bypass ditch to send the sewage down when the city's sewer system was overworked last fall was made by the enforcement division of the of the Environmental Protection Agency from their Denver office. Mayor Malcolm Beck said Wednesday that the city had come to a resolution of the problem and that the fines imposed would not have to be paid. Mayor Beck said that the allegations charged the city with were violations last October and that since then the city has not been in violation. Ironically, another branch of the EPA is presently working on plans to help the four-citifund their proposed regional sewer system. es Earlier that week, the county commission formally created a sewer service district that includes Alpine, American Fork, Lehi and Pleasant Grove in what is now known as the Timpanogos Special Service District. The body was formerly known as the Timpanogos Planning With the creation of the sewer service district comes the ability to bond for effluent. The law states that the water put into the environment must be similar to the quality of water taken out. funds for the project which will cost a total of $18 million dollars. Seventy-fiv- e percent of that cost, however, will be defrayed by the EPA which appropriates ; funds for such projects. Technology to clean the sewer water to that degree is presently available. However, because of the cost involved, the EPA has declared that it will fund the least expensive workable system. An engineering study done by Horrocks and Associates of American Fork found that the least expensive method would be to have the four cities send their sewage to a central plant to be processed. Present sewer plants in American Fork, Lehi and Pleasant Grove are already overworked and would require substantial expansion before they could service the The remaining 25 percent of the funds for the mechanical plant to be located in American Fork are to come from the four cities. With the issue stated for the: November 2 election, voters in each of the. cities will decide the fate of the regional ,1 plant. The need for the new sewer plant comes, with the 1968 congressional establishment of stricter standards for treated sewer. cities for the next 20 years. In addition to the needed expansion, the cities would have to foot the bill on the most expensive item on the new sewer, the adding of a third stage that would bring the cleaning potential of the present plants up to the new standards. Alpine presently does not have a sewer system, but has plans for a collector system which is to be hooked up with the regional plant. Other unincorporated are is, such as Highland and Manilla, will be able to enter the service district in the future when an organized group desire to apply for the services. However, those areas will be required to contract with the Timpanogos Sewer Service District to establish a sewer rate that will include payment of their share of the construction costs. Eight men were appointed last week by the county commission to sit on the board of the new service district Mayor Malcolm Beck and Councilman Evan Brady of American Fork, Mayor Evan Col ledge and Councilman Lester Holcomb of Lehi, Mayor Don Christiansen and Councilman Max Buckner of Alpine, and Mayor Cornell Haynie and Councilman Mark Bez-zaof Pleasant Grove were all appointed to oversee the regional plant operations. The mayors were appointed to two year terms and the councilmen to four year terms.

Other Land Problems In other land problems, the city voted to relinquish rights to a narrow strip of land owned by Vern Taft.

The city council agreed to hold totyn Yates Wins Hljfstery While some still remain in the dark about the identity of the Free Press Mystery Personality, Mrs. Evelyn Yates is not one of those now that she is $30 richer for having entered the Mystery Personality contest. When Tom Powers accepted the honor of drawing the winning entrant last Monday, much to his surprise the Mystery Personality was none other than . . . Tom Powers! I In the first week of a 16 week contest, a number of people from throughout the community entered the contest and several apparently had all of the fourteen clues as well as the name of the Mystery Personality. However, Mrs. Yates name was the first chosen from all of the entrants. When contacted about her winning the contest, Mrs. Yates was elated that she had won the contest. She said totes! that, although she had entered in years past, this was the first time that she had ever won. A son who is presently on a mission won the contest two years ago, according to Mrs. Yates. She said that her family has made it a family project to search for the clues in the advertisements in the Free Press. The search for the Mystery Personality sometimes requires several days before the family has decided who it is. "This was a real hard one this time," commented Mrs. Yates. "It was Saturday before we figured out who it was." She explained that she had collected a number of clues before she came to the one that identified the mystery person. She said that she searched through the entire Lehi section of the phone book before matching a phone number with Tom Powers. Entry into the contest is open to all citizens. Clues to the Mystery Personality are placed throughout the special ad section and in other ads throughout the Free Press. The winner is determined by a drawing Monday at the Free Press. The correct identification of the Mystery Personality entitles the winner to $10.00. If the winner also has all of the clues correctly listed, he is qualified to win an additional $20.00 for a grand total of $30.00. If no one wins on a particu- lar week, the money accumulates in a jackpot until someone wins on another week. When asked about what she will do with the contest mon- ey, Mrs. Yates commented, "With Christmas coming, you can always use some extra money." |
