The district then would set up a separate accounting system for the whole Sevier River Basin. Such a system would have each of the counties with its own account and each would be reimbursed for its CUP tax payments. In addition, each county would get a proportional share of the fees paid by the owners of the Intermountain Power Project (IPP). Those monies could be built up and used as a local match to acquire matching federal funds for local projects not necessarily related to water. Under such a plan, the district says it would be able to protect the interests of the other Sevier basin counties and preserve the tax base of the district as a whole. The primary reason Millard County officials are opposed to the proposal is that IPP is housed in that county and it is estimated the power plant is worth almost twice as much as the property in the other five counties combined.
