RANDOLPH, Utah. April 5, 2017. Terry Allen, Bear Lake Water Company, suggested to the
county commission that they adopt Zone 2 Water Well Protection ordinances. The BLWC consultants, Sunrise Engineering,
told Allen when a well is drilled most counties have that protection. The old wells are grandfathered, but any new wells will require this ordinance or face a complicated notification and individual contracts from surrounding property owners.
Right now when a new well is drilled, neighbors must be
contacted and sign a contract to clean up any waste or oil spills or pesticides
used. With the ordinance it will protect
the wells automatically. Cache County
has adopted this ordinance. This ordinance changes requirements of
notification not the laws governing drilling of a well. The commissioners said they would have the
county attorney look at it and report back to them.
Tyler Pugmire has been asked to take on the responsibility of being the volunteer County Fair Chairman. The commissioners thanked him for being willing to take it on at a late date. He will serve for two years. The Commissioners suggested that he start right away to get a Fair Board and
committee chairmen organized. The Fair will be held August 14 -18 in Randolph.
