Show Page 10 The Messenger, Thursday, March 27, 1980 V otters Overwhelmingly Approve Utility Revenue Bonds byPatMellor Three hundred fifty Ephraim residents turned out on Tuesday to vote overwhelmingly in favor of the issue of water and power revenue bonds. The bonds will provide improvements to the culinary water, irrigation water and electric power systems costing an estimated $2,950,000. The voters favored the proposed bond issue by a vote of 321 to 29. Cold, windy weather with a trace of snow in the air did much to discourage voters. One resident was seen outside the bank, considering whether to brave the chill winds to cross the street and vote. He took a couple of steps in that direction, but just then another gust of wind came up. Turning up his coat collar, the potential voter retraced his steps, started his car, and drove home. It was a scene that probably was repeated many Inies, with variations, during the day. By 1 p.m. less than 100 votes had been cast. At 4 p.m. the figure stood at about 165, the remainder coming in during the late afternoon and evening hours. Those who did make the effort to vote have made it possible for all the residents of Ephraim to enjoy improved utilities services in the future at rates projected to be far lower than those of surrounding communities. Extensive improvements are planned to the culinary water supply, with the development of Birch & Maple, Twin, Sawmill & Riddlers' Ridge Springs in to the present system and the improvement of Big & Black Stump Springs which already supply part of the culinary water for the city. Irrigation services are also slated for improvements which will up the supply of irrigation water from 490 second feet to 780. The improvements will further increase the pressure to both water systems. Parts of Ephraim have experienced dropoffs in pressure and other problems under the present system, which has been recognized for some time as being inadequate for the increasing population and the number of new dwellings in the area. The increase in the supply of water and its attendant pressure will also increase the availability of hydroelectric power through Ephraims own power system, thereby lessening the need of the city to purchase power from outside sources. With present usage rates, Ephraim should be able to supply about 35 Vo of its own power. The costs of power from other sources are expected to continue to increase at greater rates than the cost of production of power from Ephraim's own system; therefore the locally generated power should result in keeping Ephraims rates considerably lower than surrounding communities who are forced to purchase a greater percentage of their power from other sources. Speaking at a special meeting in the courthouse Tuesday evening. Mayor Halbert K. Jensen revealed the vote results and noted that this indicates the residents of the county are indeed in favor of progress if it is planned for responsibly and when they see an obvious need for improvement in a given area. According to Mrs. Arlene De Leeuw, city recorder, the city will now be canvassed in an attempt to sell the bonds. We are fortunate, Mayor Halbert K. Jensen says, to have a commitment slightly less than half fr Residents k.o.
