Draper Irrigation Company is unique in that the mountain water owned by the company is used for both irrigation and culinary purposes. Share owners of irrigation water, Class A stock, are the only ones eligible to vote. Culinary water users, Class B stockholders, are not eligible to vote on company on decisions. In order to expand the water system, a majority of the Class A stockholders must vote in favor of expansion. There are 3,364 shares of stock in the company owned by about 625 individuals. Water company officials are taking steps now to procure proxy, votes from those stockholders who indicate they cannot be in attendance at the meeting in order to assure a majority of the stockholders represented. Petitions have been circulated in Draper opposing the expansion of the water system. Some residents have indicated concern over the possibility that expanding the culinary part of the system may reduce the water sources available for irrigation.

During council reports, Councilman e Ernest Bedont proposed that city resident property owners, 65 or older, who are retired, be allowed to pay the minimum charge for water, which is $2.50 for 10,000 gallons.

Mayor Boyd Twiggs released figures from the 208 Water Quality Board, which show that the price tag to Midvale, West Jordan, and Sanitation Districts One and Two will be $850,000 a year over a ten year period to upgrade the existing plant to meet the 1983 water quality standards. The cost to the same areas for the one plant proposal would be $380,000 a year for ten years. "What we're missing is the cost on the two plant proposal," Mayor Twiggs stated. "If the cost is close to that of the one plant, it might bear looking into because we could start building on the Southern plant sooner without having to wait for the removal of the radioactive tailings from the Vitro plant area where the one plant would be built."
