Brigham City with favorable developments, could havefluor. ldated water flowing Into Its system within two months. This was the prediction Tues. day of Public Works Director 0. Nell Smith as he made final touches on drawings andcrlter. la for the type of equipment to be used. The citys culinary supply will be fluoridated at one part per million as approved In No. vembers referendum vote. Smith said he and Councilman Bill Davis met with Utah De. partment of Health officials Monday and received their ap. proval of the proposed system for adding fluoride to the mu. nlclpal water. that finally arriving at the fluor. ldation system criteria has re. qulred a great deal of prelim. Inary groundwork. A commit, tee headed by Davis has been working on the project since shortly after the referendum vote. Volume 59, Number 5 Brigham City, Utah, 84302, Thursday Morning, February 3, 1966 BC Afefs Brigham City this past year staged one of the nations most outstanding clean. up, paint. up and fix. up campaigns. The news was announced Mon. day that the city was a trophy winner for Its scrapbook entry in the National Cleanest Town Achievement Award contest. Mrs. Lyndon B. Johnson will personally present an engraved trophy to Brigham City rep. resentatlves at an elaborate a. wards ceremony in Washington on Feb. 15. The city council Is expected to take action at Its meeting this evening (Thursday) deslg-natinwho will make the trip to the nations capitol. THE PUBLIC works direct, or said fluoridation equipment companies' will receive the cl. ty specifications next week and then have three weeks in which to present their proposals, There are three firms In. g volved. The fluoridation equipment will be placed in an existing building just west of the citys culinary water power plant at the mouth of Box Elder can. yon. The building was originally IMMEDIATELY following the awards ceremony will be a luncheon honoring the winning cities with Secretary of the Interior Stewart L. Udall slated as the speaker. In addition to this high hon-othe citys entry, along with 23 other national award will be In contention for the National Award of Excel, lence (The Trigg Trophy). The winner of this award will be announced and the presentation made by Mrs. Johnson as the highlight of the presen. tation ceremonies. constructed for water ihlorln. but was never used for that purpose. r, allon win-ner- SMITH POINTEDoutthatcer. tain deficiencies In the water storage and distribution sys. tern must be corrected prior to fluoridation. These include installation of certain valves, such as one now being put in on Sixth East near the city cemetery, and metering devices to measure the cl. tys water more effectively. AT THE PRESENT time, wa. ter is metered at the head of Box Elder canyon. However, a large proportion of this amount Is lost through overflow at the bottom of the canyon and conse. quently, city officials dont know accurately what quantity finds Its way Into the system and how much Is lost. These are Improvements even without made necessary fluoridation, Smith said. Ap. proval to make them recently came from the city council. THE METER used to gague flow into the city system will also regulate the fluoridation e. qulpment. It will electronically assure that the proper amount offluor. lde Is being added to the water. switches A series of shut-of- f will Insure against a deviation of this amount, the director ex. plained. Only water flowing into the cl. ty lines will be fluoridated, not the overflow running into Box Elder creek just below the power plant. SOME $7,500 has been budg. eted for fluoridation and Smith said he believes this will be sufficient. The public works director noted that Brigham City Is for. In that virtually its tunate entire water supply canbefluor. ldated at one point. The only exceptions will be several wells In the city pro. per which will be placed on an emergency, standby status. Two larger wells at Mantua will be tied Into the canyon line prior to fluoridation to more than compensate for lost flow from wells. the It will take only a week, or less, to Install the fluoridation equipment after It arrives, Smith said. y Councilman Davis pointed out WHO'S SMILING NOW?
