If we do get snow stacked up in our mountains, then and only then, should we permit the water level to be lowered in anticipation of a spring run off. In any event, we need to conserve our precious supply or there may not be a growing season next summer. Actually, Utah is facing a critical situation. Water and soil conservationists who took snow measurements at the close of 1962 point out that never in history has the water content been so low at this season of the year.

Basic Course if With Utah facing the bleakest water outlook in history, Brigham City is pouring that precious commodity out of Mantua reservoir every day just to make power. After that, the water is wasted. As a matter of fact, at a recent council meeting it was pointed out that we had approximately 5,000 acre feet in the big new reservoir and it was suggested that a larger flow be released to run through the municipal hydro plant.
