The council recently voted to increase the overage rates from 15 cents to $1 per 1,000 gallons of overage use, an increase of about 600 percent. Paola I lilt brunn and Marlene I lolley question why the increase is so dramatic. Mayor Scott Collard says that the city raised the overage rate to encourage water conservation, which he says is a common practice statewide during this time of drought and adds that the water fund is one of the only The Morrises wish to express their appreciation to those businesses that supported the Cruise-Iand donated prizes.

"We're stockholders in the irrigation company, but we don't set the rates" Collard says "we're trying to buy more water and our rates are still lower than we're allowed to go." Adding to the water conservation theme, Councilman Scott Cook says "We want to provide quality water for homes and we need it for fire protection." Councilman Dean Peckham added "who should pay the most, those who stay within the limit, or those who go over? Collard added that as mayor, raising the overage rate is a decision he thinks is best for the town as a whole and in a light county. The poker run traveled through Moroni and Mt.

Obey the state law, or we'll have to regulate it." Cement and asphalt dumping The council also passed a resolution regarding the dumping of cement and asphalt on city rights of way. The resolution states that it is illegal to dump or clean out concrete or asphalt on city property, if possible. If those materials are discarded on city property, they will need to be cleaned up within 48 hours. If the contractor or home-owndoes not clean up the debris within that time frame, they will be assessed a $200 fine. Wild duck race 10K10K Race age four-wheele- crease.

The station is owned by Osral Allred, who put out the old gas pumps just for the occasion. From there, entrants went south to Manti to tour the Rat Fink Museum, located at 404 West 300 North. Everyone ended up back in Ephraim at the Auto Zone parking lot for a gathering and prize drawings. The event wasn't about winning and losing, but someone had to have the best poker hand, and it happened to be Gene Borg, Manti, with three 8's. Second went to L.M. Duke, Tooele, with three fives; and taking third was Don Smith with three twos. Each received a cash prize. Glen and Teri say they originally planned to give an award to the car that best exemplified the spirit of Ed Roth and Rat Fink, but it was just too hard to single anyone out. Instead, they put every entrants name in a hat for a blind draw, and the winner of that drawing turned out to be Lowell "Sparky" Draper, of Axtell.
