Show Lakeside Review South, Wednesday, Mar. 23, 1983 Centerville Selects Site for Well By RON KNOWLTON - Review Staff CENTERVILLE I The Cen- terville City Council has finally decided on a location for a second well in the city. The well would be used for culinary (drinking) water purposes. '! The city presently has a well at 200 S. 200 E. in the city. But a well is also needed for the south end of town, Councilman Dennis Lifferth said. The city last year received a $54,000 community development block grant to be used for the well. The city has decided on a 1.7 acre site at 75 E. Center Street. p!. The Center Street site was deeded to the city some years ago by the Lions Club to be used as a city park. Councilman Lee Duncan said the city still could make the property into a small park with a bowery even with construction of the well. Lions Club officials at the meeting said the property should be used for a park to live up to the citys commitment when the property was donated to the city. David Parrish, representing the Lions Club, said he feels the city would live up to its commit the future want to give the property back to the Lions Club. The city is considering a 10- - to well that would go down at least 600 feet. Well try to get as big a well out of it as we can get, Lifferth said.

Soli Lake Looks ai Old bridge NORTH SALT LAKE -- North Salt Lake City Council is study-in- g the problem of the condition of an old wooden bridge over the Jordan River West of Redwood Road on Center Street and the meed to provide access to outlying areas. The bridge sits on old wooden pilings and is closed to all traffic. Although the bridge is not well traveled, some citizens need to use it to reach areas outside the city. The council is aware of the need and is trying to work out a solution. The bridge, which is jointly owned by North Salt Lake and Salt Lake County, was inspect - ed in 1981 by the State Department of Transportation, according to City Manager Collin Wood. The sufficiency rating gi- ven to the bridge was 30.7. Wood said that when a bridge has a rating of 50, it is eligible for federal funds through the Bridge Replacement Program. To compound the problem, heavy rains draining into the Jordan River this season have made the bridge shift so that one side is elevated and the other has sunk, he said. Salt Lake County attempted to repair the west approach which is under their jurisdic tion, by replacing part of the deck on the approach. A week or two later, at North Salt Lakes request, Salt Lake County inspected the bridge. When a North Salt Lake engineer inspected it, he recommended that it remain closed or at least restricted in weight. Fred Calivera, of the Salt Lake Engineers, said that spans three and four must be replaced and the main support beams' are badly cracked. Both North Salt Lake and Salt Lake County are more concerned about safety than convenience, said Wood. So the bridge Cost on Phone System Going Up By RON KNOWLTON - Raviaw Staff 12-in- . has been barricaded. The problem, Wood explained, is that the bridge really needs to be rebuilt. Funds are available from the federal government, but with the planning and impact studies it will probably take a year before crews could build. The question now is whether the structure can be made sound through repairs and how much will it cost. Salt Lake County has repaired many other bridges which get much more traffic so their funds are mostly dried up. No cost estimates have been made as yet. Telephone to install the system for $75,000. But Arden Jenson, city recorder, said that as the system was covered that had not been dis- anti- cipated. Those problems will drive up the cost. He said the system should be completely installed within the next two weeks. Councilman Bob Linnell said he is really disappointed that the vendor we chose didnt have the technical know-hoto anticipate that (the problems). I have a hard time feeling those guys did a very good job of spec-inthe thing out. He said a 14 percent increase in the cost is certainly an their ability to do an adequate job. But Jenson said he felt the company had done a good job. He said the entire system "is quite a complicated thing. He said the company was involved with a major overhaul of w g the police department phone system. The system proposed was found to be wholly inadequate for what they needed," Jenson said. The police department was not able to use a battery backup system that was originally proposed. Instead an auxiliary generator was needed as a backup in case or power outages. The fire department, however, will be able to use the battery backup system, Jenson added. Jenson said he felt the city did not have the expertise to go in and determine what each department needs. We perhaps didnt take long enough, Jenson said. Somebody really layed an egg. I dont know if its us or them, Linnell replied. Mayor Dean Stahle said the company, was responding to the set of specifications established by the city in placing its bid for the phone system. Jenson said all of the problem areas have been identified. He said he couldnt say for sure whether more money for the project would be needed or not. He said the phone system for the redevelopment agency is totally inadequate. f! Mountain Fuels Home Energy Evaluation can show you how.

He said, the city also could instead build a building on the property to be used by service clubs in the city instead of a park if the city opted to do that. Parrish said the city should check with and receive approval from neighbors to the project before constructing the well.
