Nebo Angus Ranch at Starr. Storage was reported in excess of 13,000 acre feet at the time a reading was taken in March, and the water has risen considerable since that time. The Keyte farm, located on both sides of the east-weCounty road is near the southern point of the reservoir, and meadow land, alfalfa d land and even cropping areas are now flooded. In discussing the situation with Mr. Keyte, he pointed out that several land of them resi- owners are involved-mo- st st dry-lan- dents of Mona. According to Mr. Keyte, the reservoir owners have an easement covering much of the land covered by the storage water annually, but this year the water has far surpassed the line covered by the easement. Orvil Andrews of the Nebo Angus Ranch at Starr reported that probably 15 to 20 acres of pasture land is currently undir water on an area extending to the west on their property. It is understood that water from the Reservoir is going over the overflow, and that irrigation from the reservoir will be starting within a few days which will pull the reservoir level down, especially from the far end of the storage the highest points. Two Nephi students on SUSC honor roll Geological Reports from the U. Survey show that the groundwater levels in most of East Juab County are up considerably from a year ago.

He pointed out that the stream is clear, and that as the weather warms up. the flow could increase from the higher elevations.
