Show T Compliments of local citizen BOX Appointed the made to accommodate a greater part of the annual sweeping water system assessment and projection of possible new storage projects and power capacity increases were laid before the Brigham City council by an interested citizen Thursday night. It was an exhaustive presentation which boiled down to one goal - more efficient management of the citys water resources. Robert Ebeling, 616 West Fifth North, spent more than an hour presenting graphs, sketches and figures to indicate how Brigham City can more fully utilize its water and make money at the same time. His assessment, a voluntary service, covered not only the culinary supply but irrigation water and production of hydro electric power at two municipal . plants. Ebeling who is a hydrolic engineer for Thiokol Chemical corporation, noted that he has 25 years experience in the field and has performed a similar service for San Diego county (Calif.) several times. runoff, again boosting power generating potential. With these steps and installation of new turbines in the citys two plants, during wet years the city could realize an additional $31,000 in power revenue annually. - Long-rang- e plans might include construction of a shallow reservoir in the area of North lake and renewal of Chatfield dam reservoir, south of Mantua, with a generating plant. (Ebeling said the latter would have a storage capacity of 50,000 acre feet - roughly six times that of Brigham City reservoir.) Reaches Conclusions Conclusions reached by Ebeling included these: With line adjustments in Mantua, the city could increase its culinary water flow capacity and boost power generating capability. The diversion canal feeding Brigham City reservoir in Mantua could be enlarged and Pressurized System might consider a pressurized irrigation system -- The city utilizing irrigation water supplies. The city in terms of culinary water in in great shape." Spring flows in Mantua valley have continued to increase and three springs now flowing 8,000,000 gallons per day are not to the even contributing culinary supply. Youve got potential running out of your ears," he told the the supply council, judging to be adequate to the year 2000. The Soil Conservation service should include the Mantua-BrighaCity watershed areas in its snow surveys so there will -- -- be a more accurate gauge of anticipated runoff. The enginer said an estimated 30,000 acre feet runs to waste down Box Elder creek yearly, enough to fill Porcupine reservoir. year. -- Ask for Study The city should ask the Soil Conservation service and Bureau of Reclamation for a comprehensive survey to verify the data presented by Ebeling. The engineer noted also that cost sharing assistance is available through the federal agencies to build dams and improve water systems. former i However, state law precludes a member of the PSC from holding another such position. When Zundel officially begins his term on the PSC, he must give up the city post. Name Successor It will The council was obviously impressed with Ebelings and asked presentation Councilman Claudius Olsen to further discuss it with him in company with the city engineer and year. Well see how that works out," he added. The city official said he told the governor he wanted to serve the remainder of his term as mayor. It expires at the end of this potential development mayor Ruel Eskelsen who was in office when the city constructed its reservoir in Mantua and upgraded the culinary water system. On hand for the discussion were Don Braithwaite, conservationist with the SCS; Mack Page, state engineers office, be up to the city council to name a successor to serve for the remainder of, this year. Municipal elections in Novpnr ber will elect not only a new mayor but two members of the council. Commenting on the approaching end of his service in community government, Mayor Zundel said: Ive enjoyed the service. The time has flown by. Therere just no people like Brigham City people. I hate to see this time expire, I really do.
