It's a Treat to Eat at Monticello Chamber Bill Walton, Monticello City Manager, spoke to the Monticello Chamber of Commerce Tuesday concerning the citys water and sewage problems. Mr. Walton reviewed the work of a Salt Lake engineering firm which surveyed the water system last year to determine present and future needs for the city. The firm recommended a $650,000 program, which it is believed can be financed through federal funds. The citys initial request to the Economic Development Agency for the funds has been turned down without a hearing. However, the application is now being resubmitted. The capacity of the present facilities is 450 gallons per minute, but use is running as high as 800 gallons per minute, resulting in the low water pressure users often find. The engineering firm has suggested enlarging the treatment plant, with storage facilities for two million gallons of treated water. Our present water supply is adequate, ac- cording to Mr. Walton, but we are in need of greater storage capacity. The city is presently making application for planning funds in connection with the sewer system, and will soon be asking for bids on a new sewer line in the southwest area of the city.
