Show Schedule Kept Greater Park City Company Com-pany reported today that the work the Company is doing to develop the Theriot Spring as a second water - source for Park City is progressing u right on schedule." Jack Johnson, GPCC Director of Design, says the work can be divided into three phases; the new 500,000 g-allon reservoir, the pipelines necessary to connect con-nect the Spring and reservoir reser-voir to the existingcity water system, and the two pump stations. The excavation for the reservoir is completed, and the reinforcing steel for the base of the reservoir is being placed. Next week concrete for the base will be poured. The concrete sides and top will follow. Johnson says the tank, which will be 60 feet in diameter and 30 feet high, should be completed by the scheduled date of September 30. When finished, the tank will be completely buried. In fact, the tank area will eventually be a ski run, and skiers will go right over the top of the buried reservoir. All of the pipe necessary to tie the new system into the existing City water system sy-stem has been delivered to Park City, and work will begin be-gin next week to lay the pipe. This task is expected to be completed by the end of August. The third phase, the two pump stations, will be the last item completed because of the lead time necessary to receive delivery of the pumps. The necessary equip tnent has been ordered, and delivery should be made in October, allowing for total completion of the project in November. The cost of developing the new water sy s te m is being paid by Greater Park City Company under an agreement agree-ment signed with the City. When completed, the newsy-stein newsy-stein will be turned over to the City, at no cost or financial finan-cial obligation to the City. GPCC will receive a prescribed pres-cribed number of watercon-nections, watercon-nections, at no additional cost. When completed, the new system will be able to supply water to the City's othertwo reservoirs, and all parts of the City will be able to use the water if necessary. |
