Show Garland wants data Brigham City, Utah October 31, 1974 Thursday, BOX ELDER JOURNAL, City officials air How to handle solid waste waste alant issue The sewage disposal system used jointly by Tremonton and Garland continues to be a source of concern in the two communities after a meeting of officials last week. Tremonton has been advised that sewage plant has been operating in the red, and in turn, has asked Garland to pay its proportionate share of the loss, reportedly $15,000. However, Garland officials want to know more about how the deficit was determined. Further, theyve been concerned about not being alerted to the operating loss until just recently. Garland reportedly was to have received periodic reports on operating costs of the disposal system as part of an agreement for joint use. Tremonton officials agreed to provide cost data from 1964 to the present time for study by the neighboring city. Also, Garland has retained Brigham City engineer Keith Hansen to run a cost analysis to see if it should remain with Tremonton or construct its own waste treatment system. There has been talk of establishing a lagoon system to serve Garland. However, this prospect was dimmed last week when it was disclosed that such a system cant be located within 1,000 feet of any dwelling. Hansen said they havent found an area yet to comply with this restriction but we can keep looking. Aggravating the current situation is a federal edict to increase capacity of the existing waste treatment plant by June 30, 1976. meet actual sewage needs of the Commission, treasurer hopefuls voice views two-cit- y area; however, ground water seeping into the collection lines at certain periods of the flow beyond capacity.

Holmgren II (R): This is probably one of the most pressing problems facing the citizens of Box Elder county at the present time. It would be my opinion, at the present time, that this could best be handled by an intergovernmental agreement with the communities in the county banding together with a single system financed through a collection fee, backed up by a minimum mill levy.
