"It's meant thousands of dol lars to us already," testified Wil lard K. DeGraffenried. board member of the Summit Creek Ir rigation Company.

It was a community-cooperativ- e undertaking benefiting 1500 resn dents living at (the mouth of the beautiful but heretofore potenti ally Santaquin Canyon and on the Summit Creek flood plain.
