No Enforcement in October. Pool Heating Discussed


Anita Weston, Reporter

GARDEN CITY, Utah.  October 10, 2013.  Andy Stokes reported that no enforcement had been done during the last month because of other projects to which he had been assigned. 

The pool has no working furnace.  Andy suggested that a pellet stove be purchased to heat the pool area.  It would be the cheapest heat source and would probably work as well as the stove that was installed at the water treatment plant.  He suggested that the stove have a thermostat and a 175 lb. hopper to handle enough pellets to keep the stove burning.  A pellet stove costing about $4,000 will take care of 90 percent of the heat load.  This decision needs to be made soon because winter is coming.  The stove will need to be fenced.  Gomez would be willing to build this fence to keep people from getting too close to the stove. 

World Mark has been shutting the pool heat off every day, and they cover the pool.  The water retains heat really well.   The heat is then turned on later in the day.  World Mark has cut their heating bill in half by following these procedures.  Andy suggested that the City also do this to cut costs. 

The Council told Stokes to get the stove and get it installed. 

George Peart, the Building Inspector, reported that there are currently 20 building permits out.  The shed built over Labor Day was done without a building permit.  Peart is in touch with these people and will take care of this problem.  There are two more houses coming in, one in Eagle Feather and the other in Cherimoya.
