Show Review - Thursday, August 23, 1984 - Page 3 Cable TV will raise rates Rates for the Acton Cable Company will raise from the present $7.50 per month to $9.50 per month as a result of permission given by Pleasant Grove City Council Tuesday night Some members of the City Council also indicated that they felt that since Cable TV was a business that the city council should not have to regulate the rates. The raise only applies to the basic service, according to Doug Johnson, manager of the company. He explained that the city has ,'!1.7 miles of overhead cable and 7.9 miles of underground cable in the city now. It has the capacity of 35 channels. They have 865 subscribers or 38 pecent of the homes have signed up for cable TV. The company has not asked for a raise since the original rates were set back in 1977, Mr. Johnson noted. Since their service is not a monopoly and people can stop any time they want, they were in favor of deregulation of rates by the city. He said that unlike the tfas and power companies they were not a necessity and they are in a competing market so that they do not need rates to be regulated by the cities. The FCC no longer requires this rate regulation as it did in 1977 when the I'leas&nt Grove contract was negotiated. One resident in attendance at the hearing on the rate increase request questioned the picture quality of the cable channels. He was told that because of improvements the company is making and will continue to make the picture quality will improve. Cable company representatives said that location has a great deal to do with picture quality. They noted that the cable picture may deteriorate by the number of wires and cables it must go through while regular TV is picked up off a direct beam to each antenna, giving it a better picture. The council authorized the rate increase and will look at the possibility of deregulation of the . rates in the future. t ; :'h r ; V U j : V f , - ! f X I 'si o ' A i N council expresses i interest in untreated water K Grove City Council ASaffirmed that they lays been and still are V haVe otl in obtaining untreated " TtomtheCUP. rfe city has always indicated it in treated water Jf SCuld Uke to remain dependent wtth regards to n JJJd water by developing its own "Ttedty ted been allotted 1,700 ie JL fprt (four cubic feet per second) , t 8ahe CUP untreated water.

Members of the group sampled the sparkling clear and very cold water which was pumped from deep inside the ground. The P lines were first cleared of sand and . debris. This well will pump water into the Battlecreek System to provide better pressure for the homes in the north section of town. ' On hot days in the afternoons this out area wii have excellent water ii pressure. The well pumps nearly 1,500 gallons of water per minute. The group then visited the new two million gallon Monson Water Tank. Water purification tests were complete and word was given to begin filling the tank. City Engineer Lee Wimmer said that if all the pumps could be filling the tank it would only take about 10. hours but at the rate they would have to fill it it would take a couple of days. The gigantic hole which was dug for construction of the water tank has now been completely filled in and only the cement top of the tank is in view. The Anderson Park Well, which was drilled and equipped in the project, was test pumped. It will be put into use shortly when all the paper work is completed. This well pumps about 1,300 gallons per minute. This well did not have to be drilled as deep as the Grovecreek Well, the engineer said. The Anderson Park well is already located in a park but Pubic Works Director, Frank Mills, would like to see a neighborhood park built adjacent to the new water tank. Visitors next saw a test run of the new backup diesel motor for the Battlecreek Well. The gigantic 500 horse power engine is designed to be put into use in case there should be a power failure. It is worked manually. The major water project has also included placing regulator valve's on 200 S., installing new water pipe between 700 E. and 1300 E. on 200 South, development of Wade Springs, and placing 50 new and replacement fire hydrants throughout the city. r Bids awarded on projects Following the. bid opening jy, Tuesday night for the special im-- , Ik provement project, the Pleasant Grove City Council authorized the city engineer to go ahead and award kIS! bids on two of the four projects while the two others remain questionable. )fcs The apparent low bid of 5295,450.15 by Jonco Construction -- i for the sewer line installation in I Firwood Estates and Cascade Meadows was accepted as it was within the numbers quoted to the property owners. The engineer's estimate for this project was $334,000. The bid for the Community Development Block Grant to install sewer lines on 1300 West and 1100 North up to the Firwood and Cascade Subdivision will be warded to Jonco Construction, who had the apparent low bid of $152,797 when permission is received from the state. The engineer's estimate on this project was $185,000. Work is ex-pected to be finished on these projects in November if all goes as planned. The bids on the 1400 East Street improvements were about 80 per-cent higher than the residents had been told they would have to pay. The reason for this was because the project had had more details added to it than when the first estimates were given to the property owners, the engineer said. The city council decided that they will get input from the 35 property owners on the street before they take any action to turn down the bids. With the additions the city engineer had estimated the project at $98,000. The low bid was from Geneva Rock for $99,548.75. The property owners had originally been told the cost would be about $53,000. Later other details were added to the project which raised the estimated cost. All of the bids in the Crystal View Subdivision improvement project were over the engineer's estimate of $51,300. The council approved awarding this bid only if the property owners agree to pay the additional costs. The apparent low bidder was Skyline Construction with a bid of $61,884. The city engineer noted that the bids were probably higher than his estimate because he set his figures three months ago and since then the market has changed and the con-tractors are busier and not having such a hard time finding jobs.
