LAYTON - Weber Basin officials have announced plans for developing a new $10 million purification and treatment plant in the southwest corner of Riverdale-- tf they can get city approval. THE PLAN was presented to Riverdale city officials last week but they took the matter under advisement until they could further study any legal ramifications and to determine the city's own plans for supplying culinary and irrigation water to its residents. Weber District Manager Keith Jensen said the new treatment plant would assure communities in southwest We- ber County and northeast Davis County of adequate future supply of drinking water. HE SAID the planned site would be on about 10 acres of d land adjacent to Riverdale's Freeway Park at the north end of Hill Air Force Base. The property is located near a storage reservoir that presently supplies Roy Water Subconservancy District with a pressurized secondary water system.

BOUNTIFUL, July 26. 1894 While from the Clipper. the people of the capital were at the famous resorts of the Salt Lake enjoying themselves, the Bountiful people were also having a jolly time at home on Pioneer Day. The amusement was furnished by two organizations, namely the YM and YLMI associations and the OK baseball club, the former holding forth at the tabernacle square and the latter at the OK ball grounds. At times most of the crowd would be at the tabernacle and then shift to the ball grounds. The Bountiful City Brass Band and the Centers die Band played. There were speeches, songs and recitations given under a bower especially built for the occasion by Pres. Israel Call and the Young Men's Association. Races were held.

MICKLLSEN KAYSVILLE The president of a local irrigation company Wednesday cautioned Davis County officials against selling or leasing any of their water shares from the Davis Park Golf Course until they know if there are enough shares per acre for irrigation. HAIGHT Irrigation president Ben Brough said four shares per acre are required from the county to meet sufficient irrigation needs on the golf course. Davis County Commissioners recently discussed the possibility of selling or leasing some of their water shares to a group of Kaysville residents who want the water for home supplies. Davis Park Golf Pro Pierre Hualde said the golf course rarely uses more than 450 to 500 shares per year for irrigation. DAVIS COUNTY Attorney Rodney Page warned the commission against selling the shares, but recommended leasing as a possibility. Last week, however. Mr. Brough cautioned the county against any hasty action involv mg the sharea. THEY (COUNTY) think because they haven't used up all their water they have extra w ater to sell or lease out. Brough said he doesn't know if the county has an excess of water. He said if the golf course has enough shares per acre, the county is within their rights in selling or leasing the remaining shares. HE continued, "if they haven't, they BUT, should not sell it." Brough noted that during a hot summer or extremely dry season, the county may need all the shares they can get to properly irrigate the property. COM. HARRY Gerlach and Mr. Hualde in separate interviews last week agreed that the county is against selling the shares, but neither ruled out the possibility of leasing the water. We've got to check into the legality of doing it, Hualde said. ASKED IF the Kaysville residents were contacted about a possible lease agreement, the golf pro said he didn't know. Com. Gerlach said the commission asked Hualde to check into the lease agreement, but have heard nothing more since that request. |
