Show Company, civic leaders meet to air Brian Head sewer problems go, stated that that firm may finance the program under a bonding plan, but that it may take time. Time is of essence in the deal and the line need is right aday. 1 In the meantime engineers, lawyers and company officials offic-ials are working on a solution. At a meeting held at the Bavarian Inn at the Brian Head Resort last Wednesday night, representatives from the Brian Head Corp, Parowan City, Iron County, KSUB,, as well as private property owners own-ers who were interested met to find a solution to the sew-wer sew-wer problems of that resort area.

Mayor Kendall Gurr states that the Utah State Department of health will probably approve this as a temporary measure. The cost of a program such as this wasn't specified to us, Parowan City officials are interested in and rather worried wor-ried about this second program, pro-gram, with a set of sewage lagoons right in the middle of our watershed, and what it might do to our water supply sup-ply City residents are also voicing skepticism to such a program. They were assured that it wouldn't do us any harm. Brian head would rather have the permanent hook-up to the Parowan lagoons, if it can finance it; but this is a problem.
