GARDEN CITY, Utah. April 2013.
Zan Murray, engineer from JUB, reported on the water plan. He obtained the original water model from
Sunrise Engineering and has gotten all water meter data that is available. He has tied the water data to land
parcels. He is getting a map ready and
putting a water model together. When the
model is ready, “what if” questions can be asked. They will be able to see how pipe sizes affect
the system, how the water hooks into the different water tanks, and how a well
by the fish pond in Heritage Park will effect things. When he gets all of the different items fit
into the model, then the model will be run making various changes to see the
most efficient combinations that will be possible for the City.
Murray was asked to
follow through on a change of use application that was started last fall to
handle the water used in the fish pond.
The water used there should be changed to recreational use or municipal
use, whatever is the most appropriate.
The five new commercial water
meters need to be installed. Bids for
the project will be opened on Monday. It
will be done on the web and seems to be an especially good system. It appears that several companies are
interested in this project.
Murray is working with Danny
White, the City Administrator, to get the best area for parking at Heritage
Park. The possibility of getting some
type of access on 300 West into the park prior to the road going in is being
examined.
Danny White noted that the
new lights will be put in place as soon as possible. The Kiosk will be also put
in place to provide information for locals as well as tourists. It should be a great help to local
businesses. It will be placed just north
of the LDS Church in the City’s parking
lot and will be highly visible. It will
allow anyone who desires to put information there, and will become one of the
best ways for businesses to advertise and let people know what they do and
where they are located. Events and
activities will also be posted there.
An application to drill a
well in the City is being completed. The
well will be part of the City’s overall water system. An ordinance needs to be written to take care
of the maintenance of the well. Also,
there are some small issues with the water treatment plant.
Water from the canal will not
become available until May 1. That is as
soon as water is allowed into the canal.
Everything at the pond needs to be ready by then so that water can be
put into the pond and the fish added.
There is a canal meeting on the coming Saturday. The Army Corp. of Engineers will be in town
tomorrow, Friday, at 10 a.m. Those on
the Board involved with the water issues and roads should attend that meeting
if possible.
