RANDOLPH, Utah. March 6, 2017. Terry Allen, Bear Lake Water System, presented a petition signed by individuals
living on Sweetwater Hill requesting that the County take over the Bear Lake
Water System in that area. It is
currently a privately owned water system that covers four or five different
subdivisions. He also had a map showing
the area currently providing water to those who live there. He noted that it would be the entire system
and excluded the sewer district which is an entirely different entity.
It was noted by the Commissioners that such a request would
require holding a public hearing to talk about the system. Allen noted that because it is a private
system, they cannot apply for any grants or government assistance. If the water system is taken over by the
County, they could apply for grants to improve the system.
It was estimated that it would require at least $10,000 to
survey the system to get all of the current boundaries on the map.
The Commissioners made the motion to set the date for the
public hearing for next month, April 5, 2017, at 1:30 p.m.
Allen also asked that protection of Zone 2, where all
new water wells are being drilled be placed on next month’s agenda as
well. He would like to see the Commission
create an ordinance to protect Zone 2.
Sunrise Engineering would be willing to send an engineer to the meeting
to explain the justification and reason for such a zone. The Commissioners set up an appointment at
the next Commission Meeting on April 5 at 11:30 a.m. to talk with that engineer
and Terry Allen concerning this item.
It was suggested that another public hearing be scheduled
for April 5 at 1:00 p.m. to get public input concerning the Cisco Road
Project. This project will cost about
$8.4 million. The motion was made to
hold the hearing. A proposal was also
made to perhaps borrow from the Community Impact Board for this project.
