RAIL.R0M STREET gpRlNGPORT MI Vol. 9, No. 20 Wednesday, May 27, 1987 50 cents a single copy City expects to have adequate water Frank Mills, Pleasant Grove City Public Works Director, said Friday that he has been receiving a lot of inquiries from residents about the dry weather and the water situation in the community. He said that the city does not anticipate any water shortage but did make some recommendations. He urged residents who can to water their lawns during the night or very early in the morning. The schools and city property are already on a watering schedule to give the water tanks a chance to fill. He said on April 5 the water crews noticed a big change in the spring flow out of Battlecreek Canyon. Usually there is about 1,400 gallons per minute flowing down that canyon. On April 5 it was down about half. "We were worried if there was a problem with a spring box up the canyon and we hiked the canyon and found no problems in the spring boxes," he said. "There was just no snow in the canyon to go into the springs." The city started using the pump on the Battlecreek Well on April 3, about one and one-ha-lf months earlier than usual. He said they ran the pump with the diesel motor for two weeks but it could not keep up, so they switched over to the electric motor because it pulls more water. During April the city pumped 20 million gallons of water. "That would fill the large tank on the hill 20 times," Mills added. They did not turn on the well pump last year until the latter part of May. They ran it from May until the end of August. "Unless things change we will run clear into September this year," Mills explained. When the rains came in the last week or so, it helped the city out a lot. Until then the pump had been running 24 hours a day since May 5. He noted that the tank can be at 20 feet and by afternoon it will have dropped to 16 feet because of people using so much water. "We can turn the Grovecreek Well in but we are trying to keep pumping costs down as much as possible," he explained. The Monson System has the new 10 inch line from Wade Springs. This year in April, the Monson Well pump ran 412 hours and pumped 29 million gallons of water. One year ago in April the Monson pumped for 137 hours and 10 million gallons of water. Mills noted that the Monson System handles the biggest part of town. There is an upper zone and a lower zone in Pleasant Grove. Because of this there needs to be pressure regulating valves on the Battlecreek System. There is one at 500 North and 900 East to control the pressure on the lower end. There are six regulators on System. If the copper tubing fails or the valve does not work properly, then too much pressure is on the lower end. Mills said they have to adjust the valves in the summer so that they have enough pressure on the lower end and readjust them in the fall to be sure they do not have too much pressure. He urged residents to call the City Hall if they have any kind of pressure problems and the city will come and check and give any assistance they can. During May they have had to run the Anderson Well to supplement the Monson System. Last year the Monson Well and Wade Springs was enough to handle the system. The Monson cannot do it alone this year. Before they had the Anderson Well, they used the Brimley Well but the Anderson is more efficient to use and so they use it. Mills said that the city budgeted $60,000 to pump the wells this year. He said the city was doing airight until the first of April but now he anticipates it will cost about $70,000 for the pumping. "We haven't used the Brimley Well yet, nor has the Grovecreek Well been put in yet," Mills noted. The biggest demand times for water in Pleasant Grove are bet-ween 6 a.m. and 10 a.m. and then it tapers off until about 4 p.m. when it goes up and then after 10 p.m. it goes down again. He urged residents to use water wisely. Mills recently attended a meeting in Price on the new Utah Safe Drinking Water Act. It will cost the city about $12,000 to sample the water this next year. It has been costing only about $720 per year to sample. The tests must be done quarterly and they have to be really careful when it is done. If none of the nine chemicals tested for show up at all during the year, then the city does not have to test for them again for five years. But additional tests are added year year. Mills said he does not anticipate any problems with the testing. 1 . , , ; , . ... . J ; ,.::' ' V. ' i X; J , X v . 0 - x " i 1 ' . - i k) v -. ... I i, .j' .. .,,. s, ... J Cleaning around some graves at the Pleasant Grove Cemetery on Memorial Day are, L-- R, Florence Voorhees, Jacynthia and Orin Voorhees, Steven Rogers and Virginia Voorhees. Family learns patriotism from cemetery visits One Pleasant Grove mother feels that it is important for her children to' learn about patriotism, and although they do not have any relatives or friends buried in the cemetery, they visit there on Memorial Day anyway. Florence Voorhees took her children Jacynthia, Orin, and Virginia, and a friend, Steven Rogers, to the Pleasant Grove cemetery on Monday. They walked around and looked at the graves with flags on them, looked for veterans graves and talked about folks who had lived to very old age and babies who had died at birth. They have moved out here from New York and Mr. Voorhees works at BYU. They have visited other cemeteries, too, including the one at Delta a couple of years ago. The children clean around the graves and put water in flower con-tainers that need it. They planned to attend the memorial service at the cemetery Monday morning but one was not held this year. The family read the names of all those who are listed in memorial at the flagpole at the cemetery. PGHS graduation to be held at Marriott Center 1 c - rf : j Pleasant Grove High School will hold its commencement exercises on Friday, May 29, at 8 p.m. in the Marriott Center at BYU, according to Principal Tom Carlile. This is the first time the graduation program has been held at the Marriott Center but because of the larger graduating class, expanded audience, and cons-truction at the school, the decision was made to have the ceremonies at this location. There is an entrance for han-dicapped persons coming to the graduation. Drive up to the north door of the Marriott Center, and immediately inside there is an elevator that will lift persons to a hallway that leads to the playing floor level. Such persons are invited to sit with the faculty in the seats that will be on the playing floor area. It is a great opportunity to sit in comfort and enjoy the graduation ceremonies in this facility, school officials said. It is requested that the usual dress standards be observed at this BYU building. There will be comfort and room for as many friends and family members as can come to this significant event.

Corey Carter, David Carter, Jon Lindon City inventories resident water shares for vote By KALIN SECRETAN Just where do all the Lindon water snares lie? Lindon City Engineer uave Thurgood met with the city "uncU on May 20 to determine how "luch water is needed to provide water for 1,760 irrigatable acres in e Secondary water project area. Foiiowing a meeting with ST1 and state Engineer, it determined that the next order of business in providing secondary water for Lindon was to make sure the water rights could be obtained, then follow up with a bond election. Copies of where the location and amount ot water shares are were reviewed by the council. The North Union water rights were evaluated and it was noted that Lindon City holds 105 shares, Pleasant Grove owns 2C0, with about 514 shares owned by Lindon and Pleasant Grove residents, primarily Lindon. It was calculated that there was enough water within the North Union shares to supply water needed for the project. Water from the Murdock and Pleasant Grove Irrigation Co. was also evaluated. Councilman Dean Blackhurst felt if people understand the facts they will be in favor of the secondary system. He said that people do not understand that their culinary water bill will decrease. They do not realize what the water situation will be in five to 10 years. The water will not always be there, he noted. Funding may not always be available as it is today. We have authorization of funds and need to get the shareholders to commit now, he explained. Some people think they have to put in a sprinkling system, he added. Property owners can turn water into the ditch and irrigate as they always have, if they want, he said. Further meetings are planned for the shareholders, explaining the fac-ts and the project. They will be con-tacted about their willingness to sell water shares to the city. If Lindon can't get the water, then there is no use holding an election, council members said. The meetings are planned for June 2 and June 10. In other council business, Thurgood presented plans for a proposed mall project on the diagonal piece of property on State Street which was recently con-sidered for Storehouse Market. Storehouse is interested in selling their piece. Main Street could be eliminated there and neighbors indicated if clients come up with something, they will go along with it. - |
