Show Ausburn brings engineering expertise to new job with Sewer District 0 "":"""r45.r " M ' r - .- : ".' .... ,,.,:.. 1 w Beginning Monday, July 23 Rex Ausbum will take the helm of the Snyderville Basin Sewer Improvement Improve-ment District as district manager. For the past three-and-a-half years ; Ausburn has been serving as district engineer while working for P.M. Engineering, a Salt Lake firm. Ausburn said he is very familiar with the district and the multitude of projects now underway in the Snyderville Basin. He cites his expertise as an engineer with construction experience as qualifications qualifica-tions for the new position. Ausburn said, however, his new duties won't be that much different from what he's been doing lately for the district. A Missouri native, Ausbum attended the University of Missouri at Columbia, Missouri. He spent more than five years in that community as sanitary engineer after a four-year stint in the Air Force. His Air Force career also involved managing of construction projects. And although Ausbum has worked closely with outgoing District Manager Mana-ger Ed Davis, he said his background is more engineering and construction than finance, Davis' expertise. In that regard, Ausbum said, it is good that the financing is complete on the Snyderville Basin's projects with construction just beginning on many of them. The Old Ranch Road sewer trunk line will begin construction in the spring of 1985, Ausbum said. The construction on the proposed treat- Rex Ausburn ment plant on the Silver Creek drainage will also begin next spring although preconstruction grading will begin this summer, he said. The district's other projects, such as the Main Street sewer line and Phase I of the main trunk line on Kearns Boulevard, are moving along nicely, Ausbum said. He added that sewer work in developing subdivisions subdivi-sions also keeps the Snyderville District very busy. |
