Initial Project Plannin ersoiis This Is the second in a series of articles aimed at explanation of Brigham Citys proposed $2,500,000 water development project. The following chapter is devoted to initial planning and research. What goes into the planning of a project for w'ater development? In the case of Brigham City, preliminary efforts and study were spread over a period of more than two years. Early in 1957. members of the city government perceived the necessity of expanding the communitys culinary water supply. This need was not something due only casual interest. It was definite and swelling in seriousness. Thiokol Chemical corporation with optimistic plans for its Utah division, predicted for Box Ela rapid growth population-wis- e der county and more specifically, Brigham City. Announcement this week that Thio-koemploye force now numbers 1,800 certainly backs up that prediction. . Tlane to meet a greater water demand first centered around construction of a dam in South Fork canyon. It was calculated that rlnoff waters could be trapped there and thus traded to Brigham City and Perry irrigators w'ho were using pure spring water from Mantua to water their crops. Closer study proved this plan unfeasible. First, the canyon slope was so great that it would have cost an estimated three million dollars to build a dam of sufficient height; second, it was doubtfdl that the rocky terrain would hold water without much of it seeping away. The present administration was faced with finding an alternate solution to the worsening problem. It engaged the Ogden engineering firm of Nielsen, Reeve and Maxwell for some expert advice in the matter. This took place one year ago. After a preliminary investigation of spring runoff conditions and water storage possibilities, the firm came up with what it considered a less expensive and more practical plan. The engineering team proposed a project to dike the fields in Mantua v, alley where annual runoff waters could be stored. City Engineer Francis Todd associated with the Ogden firm was largely responsible for conceiving the idea. The city council felt the project was a good one. Mayor Ruel M.
