Show .1 attend Levan Town hydro plant information meet Sixty people A group of approximately 60 Levan residents attended a public meeting last Thursday to discuss the towns plan to build two hydroelectric generating plants. A number of questions were asked, including why the hydroelectric projects are proposed, how the projects will be financed, how the hydroelectric projects will affect the flow of town irrigation water, and what benefits are brought to Levan by its membership in the Utah Municipal Power Agency? Mayor Golden Mangelson attempted to answer the questions. The principal reason for building the hydroelectric one which would be plants driven by culinary water and one which would be driven by irrigation water is to cut costs for Levan power buyers. The generators would not provide all of Levans power re- quirements. They would, however, reduce the peak power requirements of the town. It is that peak power figure that sets power rates for the rest of the year.. If the town has a lower peak usage rate, therefore, the town will pay lower power rates. The town now gets its power from Utah Power & Light Co. and from the Colorado River Storage Project through power pooling arrangements with the Utah Municipal Power Agency. The hydroelectric plants will cost about $792,000. A great deal of the project was com- pleted when the towns municipal water system was revamped, and approximately $436,000 is left to repay. The money would be financed through revenue bonds sold by Utah PR 33 .A J3ICUTJIN 467 BIST W1RD SWT.4 Salt the town. Some members of the group in attendance at the meeting were concerned about the flow of irrigation water needed to run the hydroelectric plants. Mayor Mangelson said the plant needs only two second-fee- t of water Tor 14 hours to reduce the peak on the highest day of usage. A pond is being built to store water for use by the plant. Most peak shaving will occur in the winter time when nobody uses irrigation water anyway, said Alden Robinson of Sunrise Engineering, the consultant on the project. In the spring time'there will be a great deal of water which can be used and the hydroelectric plant can use up to seven second-fejej Robinson said.
