Four cities are involved in developing the district on a percentage basis. The percent is based on the number of residential water connections: West Jordan percent, Murray 24 percent, Midvale 10 percent and Sandy 39 percent. The location currently being looked at by the cities is 320 acres of land at 9000 West and 9000 South. The estimated cost of the project is $1.4 million to cover the land purchase, roads, fences and necessary equipment. West Jordan's share of the expense is approximately $378,000. The approval of the motion was necessary so that the city could issue revenue bonds for the project. According to Dick Christensen, Burrow Smith and Financial Company Consulting firm, these bonds could either be paid back by any charges made for waste collection from or revenues generated by the operation of the project. No taxes would have to be levied. A maximum of 50 cents per month per water connection would be charged.
