There are now 1,204 residential connections out of a population of 4,400. Some areas of the city have sufficient flows, but pressures during the peak season in some parts of the city suffers, tremendous water pressure BYTHAYA DAVIS have to improve, but just how serious We know we and critical is this problem? questioned Mayor Ballam as an interim report on water and sewage was given to Smithfield's city council this past week. The study, presented by Gale Larson and Kent Jones, Valley Engineering, Inc., indicated present water system problems: many areas in the city have insufficient flows and pressures to be adequately served; there is no adequate way of measuring the quantities of source water available and the chlorination facilities are in need of repair; there are inadequate storage facilities according to the State Health Board and insurance service standards; and the transmission line from the spring to the large reservoir is entrapping air and thus is restricting the flow to the losses. Approximately 50 per cent (on a yearly average) of water used is used for outside watering on lawns and gardens. Even though the reservoir could be filling up during the months between October and April, it could be easily emptied in a day of peak usage. Possible present system solutions were outlined thus-l- y : increase line sizes from 2 inches to 10 inches in designated areas of the f ity ; install meters on all trans- mission lines from' the springs and wells and update the chlorination facilities; construct a new reservoir reservoir. The city's present water storage capacity is 1.15 million gallons per day (MGD). which would need to be 1.5 million gallons to meet pre sent usage rates and a design. The cost to construct a new reservoir would be approximately $286,000 based on 1978 projected construction costs); and service existing air relief valves and install new ones as needed. Mr. Larsen also mentioned that some cities have effectively increased their water rates and suggested it should ten-ye- ar be considered. "Average rates, according to Larson, are $7.50 to $8.50 per connection per month for a town the size of Smithfield." Smithfield rates are about half that currently. The study is based upon an overall time period for the next 23 years, and future system problems were also discussed. For instance, in approximately two years, or when the number of connections equals 1,400, the existing water sources will be over extended and new sources of water will need to be found. When Smithfield's population is approximately 8,600 Hyde Park Appoints Park City Coun- figures as to the cost of the projects but he informed the council that he will be in touch with contractors to try and determine the amount t. the repairs will nesday. There is needed someone to act from the city in cases of emergencies or drills such as one held two weeks ago, Mayor Russell Reeder stated to the council. Marshall Lindbloom seemed the logical choice as Marshalls from other communities act as their repre- In other action, Councilman Wayne Waite proposed that maps of the newly annexed area be colored to reflect changes in residential, commercial and agricultural zoning. It was announced that there are currently 29 commercial establishments in Hyde Park. Bruce Hurren spoke of the problems with water pipes sentatives to the county. There's a need for each community to have such a representative in the eventuality there is an emergency. The representative will act as a between the county and community. He will be the person the county will set up communications with during drills and emergencies for information to be passed on to city residents. Wendell Ashcroft announced that there is currently a survey under way to determine which streets needed repair in Hyde Park. He has tentatively determined that an area on First March 23 and will be presented to the council at that time. Mayor Ballam presented a copy of the Revenue Sharing budget for 1976 and 1977 to the council based upon two budgets (one six months and the other 12 months).

He mentioned that there have been several water line and meter freeze plate breaks during the past period of freezing temperatures. He suggested that water be left running in areas that normally get little use to avoid damage. It was also announced that $1,665,000 has been put back into the water reserve fund to be used in time of emergencies or catastrophies. In Anal action, it was noted to the council that the city recreation department has received $267.53 from the state to remodel the swings 'and erect a new flag pole. Allocations include $80,000 for Lewiston, $140,000 for North Park and $380,000 for Summit.

Studies indicate that enrollment at all levels will fluctuate greatly in the next period with the greatest variance occurring at the present in the fifth to eighth grade levels. As a result of a dip in populations growth in the early sixties enrollment has dropped from 600 to 450 in each grade ar from fifth to the eighth. This dip will carry into the high school level in a matter of a few years bottoming out in resulting gram. Plan 5-Y- ear ten-ye- ; in growth plan at that level.

This time however, the I return address showed Smithfield rather than Provo.
