This includes storm water, irrigation water, surface water, ground water, runoff water, underground drainage, uncontaminated cooling water or unpolluted industrial process water. If anyone disobeys this ordinance they would be subject to a $200 fine or 30 days imadprisonment or both. In anyone passing clean water into the sewer would be fined $1 a day for each day they dumped the clean waste into the sewer. This is mostly going to effect people who have sump pumps and do pumping out of their basements and yards." Mr. Daley said. He also said that because the sewer project is being partly funded by the EPS they have to meet certain requirements. The Clean Water Ordinance is part of the requirement. dition, "When the sewer system is completed we have to account for every drop of water that goes into the main system in American Fork", Mr. Daly said.

Red Cross volunteers also provide youth, safety and disaster relief services, among other things. "We are meeting many important human needs in the community," Mrs. Whitaker explained. "However, we're spread too thin and we need more volunteers." The agency derives its funds almost entirely from the tfnited Way. No other formal campaigns are conducted unless a disaster, such as the Teton Dam tragedy, occurs. "Giving to the Key Club is giving because those who participate set the standard," Mr. Huish stressed. "This was a major factor in last year's successful drive and will, again, help make the difference in raising the moneys needed for the Red Cross and other United Way agencies." leadership Mr. Huish is general superintendent of U.S. Steel's Geneva Works, located near Provo.
