Show 2B Emery County Progress Tuesday, November 14, 1995 Advisory board recommends water conservation measures water conservation standards and regulations rec- ommended by the Utah Water Conservation Advisory Board could alter some water uses in Utah, particularly in landscapes. The recommendations are in an Oct. 30 report to Gov. Michael O. Leavitt and Bruce Babbitt, Secretary of the Department of the Interior, on the board's comprehen- give study of 10 water conservation measures identified in the federal Central Utah Project Completion Act. The board endorses: Total metering of municipal and industrial water use during peak summer seasons. Water pricing policies that promote water conservation. Annual accounting of leaking water systems. Water reuse in commercial laundries using tunnel or large tub washer systems. Reusing water in newly installed commercial and indus trial water operative aif conditioning and refrigeration New - ' systems. New ion exchange high efficiency salt demand water softeners. Investigating lime softening as part of the surface water treatment process in Utah. The board does not recommend: Added changes in the state plumbing code for water fixtures and fittings. Requiring newly constructed vehicle wash facilities to recycle wastewater. f SoiI preparation requirements for V turf areas. Insulation of hot water pipes in new construction. Eliminating evaporation as a principal means of waste-wattreatment in Utah. " Board members also recommend three measures not mentioned in the CUP legislation. They say water suppliers should have water management and conservation plans before they apply for state or CUP funding for water projects. They favor promotion of water conserving landscapes and restriction of watering between 10 a.m. and 6 p.m. during summer months. Board members also want to see the state's water education program expanded.

IRS reports new law on Social Security numbers & children New parents should be aware of a change in federal law requiring Social Security numbers (SSNs) for children bom this year. Any taxpayer claiming a child as a dependent on a 1995 federal income tax return must include the child's SSN, unless the child was bom in November or December 1995. According to the Internal Revenue Service, ifthe SSN is not available for a child bom in November or December, the taxpayer must instead write "1195" or "1295," in the space for the child's number on the tax return, to show the childs birth month. Including the SSN or the month and year notation will prevent delays in receiving an income tax refund. All SSNs used on the return should be checked and rechecked to avoid refund delays. If the parents already ap- - plied for an SSN for a newborn child through the birth registration process, the Social Security Card should arrive within two to four months, usually before it's time to file a tax return. A taxpayer who has not applied for an SSN for a dent child can do so by completing Form SS-- 5 and providing the Social Security Administration with an original birth certificate and one other piece of identification showing the child's name, such as a doctor's letter or hospital record. It usually takes only two weeks to get an SSN. To get more information on how to apply for an SSN or to get Form SS-contact the Social Security Administration or call 5, Form SS-- 5 is also available at the IRS or by calling Pain may be eliminated for millions ' 0 Board hears CVJH report HUNTINGTON- - budget, Canyon the host Junior site for the regularly scheduled meeting of the Board of Education on Nov. 8.
