The council also decided to give citizens two months to pay their utility bill because of the impact of the water rate increase. The new charge for minimum use of 12.000 gallons is $7.75 and 60 cents per thousand gallons additional. Since the meters are ready every other month, the minimum is charged the first month and the overage is added to the following months bill. Many residents were unaware of the billing proceeding. Mayor Keith Cisney said. In 1964 the Weber Basin Water Conservancy District was charging Clinton about $12 per acre foot. Now, the same water costs $51 plus increased labor costs. As a result of those increases in operating costs, the City Council approved an increase in the basic water rate of $2.75 per month and an increase in the excess usage rate to 60 cents per 1.000 gallons over the minimum, the two-mon- th COUPLE received minor injuries in this collision near the Layton Hills Mall Tuesday when their evening.

The City Council Tuesday heard a report from Mark Carter of the cable television company who said there will be a new basic package available to viewers, plus two optional movie channels. Carter said the company has been offering 11 channels, including the six currently available on regular higher rate. Carter said a meeting was scheduled this morning with representatives of Mountain Bell and the television company to determine what is causing the delay in getting the necessary He said each subscriber who takes the new package will get a converter for his television set which enables the set to pick up all 19 channels. He said the normal television antenna would no longer be necessary, and reception would be improved.

East Layton used up its entire 119 acre foot allotment from the water district at the end of August and had to that all outside watering with culinary water would be prohibited until further notice. City administrator Tracy Barnes said the additional 20 acre feet to be purchased from Weber Basin should tide the city over until next year and solve the shortage problem. He said the water shortfall had been caused by a reduced outflow from spriOngs near Fernwood Park which provide East Laytort with about 75 percent of its water.
