Master Water Plan For Garden City

GARDEN CITY, Utah.  February 21, 2013.   Jan Murray of JUB Engineering reported that he is currently working on the Garden City Master Plan.  He is also working on an overall water plan for the City.  He is doing some computer modeling to get the best fit for both of these items.  Money from a grant has been released and the new GPS units are being purchased.   Five commercial water meters are being purchased and will be put in place soon.  One will be at Harbor Village, one above Harbor Village, and three near the Paris Café location.  These meters should be installed prior to Memorial Day and should be put out for bid very soon. 

The Public Works Department requested that  Murray check the water treatment plant to see if it would be possible to store some replacement parts and tools above a couple of the rooms in the treatment plant.  Mr. Murray indicated that they have cut a hole through the ceilings of two rooms and storage will be possible there. 

Murray has been holding off on checking on the well until he finishes the master water plan.  At that time, a well location will be determined that will be placed at the best possible location for the City. 

Mayor John Spuhler noted that the Agra Con Project in the Paris area seems to moving forward quickly.  It is estimated that there will be possibly as many as 400 workers who will be traveling from the Logan area to work.  These individuals will be traveling through Garden City.  The Mayor feels this will have an impact on our community and asked that Murray look into this matter and perhaps talk with Agra Con to see what studies and information they may have concerning this type of impact.  Currently everything concerning the mine is underground.  However, Mayor Spuhler thought that future growth might cause that to change as well.
