7. PRICE RIVER WATER IMPROVEMENT DISTRICT UPDATE - Lamond Williams
Lamond Williams, representing Price River Water Improvement District,
presented an update on the first two phases of the expansion of their water treatment
plant at Castle Gate. The pre-sedimentation basin is the first project. Price City is
welcome to use this facility once it is completed, instead of pulling out of their own
diversion dam. The third phase will be the biggest project. To complete this phase, PRWID
is recommending that Price City work with them to procure a Geo bond. This bonding would
allow Price City to replace their old waterline in Price Canyon. The City's present line
is very old and there is no indication how many leaks there are and how much water is lost
back into the river. It would also be wise to get permission to use the railroad grade. It
is a lot longer, but it would be cheaper construction. The old line could be left in place
and a box could be placed in the river at Fish Creek, which would bring cleaner water into
the pre-sedimentation basin so that a lot of the mud, silt, and turbidity is bipassed. In
talking with the State for funding, it seems as though they want Price City to get rid of
their treatment plant and only have one facility for this area. However, PRWID informed
them that Price City serves a different populace than PRWID does, and that these
waterlines are already in place. Further, that the two treatment plants actually
compliment each other. The State was unaware that the City and PRWID have
interconnections. There is probably other interconnections that can be made so that each
entity can be served better in emergencies. It would be beneficial for both PRWID and the
City if the State can be convinced that the two agencies work together to provide all the
people in the PRWID service area with adequate culinary water.
8. BID OPENING - Water Distribution Line Replacement - Committee Appointed
The following bids were received for the Water Distribution Line
Replacement.
K & P Plumbing & Heating $55,400.00
Nelson Irrigation & Const. $40,436.37
Minchi Digging $45,460.00
Motion. Councilmember Piccolo moved that a committee
comprised of himself, Councilmember Piccolo, Gary Sonntag, Paul Wheeler, Cobb Johnson, and
Pat Larsen, be appointed to review the bids and given the power to act. Motion seconded by
Councilmember Bringhurst and carried.
9. CARBON COUNTY HOUSING AUTHORITY - Building Permit Fees Waived
Motion. Councilmember Nikas moved that building permit fees
be waived for the Carbon County Housing Authority to construct a patio at the Women's
Center. Motion seconded by Councilmember Denison and carried.
10. SPEED REDUCTION - 9th North 3rd East Street
Councilmember Denison reported that he has received requests to reduce the
speed on 9th North between 3rd East and the mountains to the west where the new water tank
is being constructed. One of the concerns is the bigger cement trucks which carry a lot of
weight, and it would be difficult to stop if they were going too fast. Councilmember Nikas
will review this with Dick Perea, Streets Supervisor.
11. COMMUNITY PROGRESS - Volunteer Center - Struck
12. SWIMMING POOL - Bidding Procedures Waived For The Purchase Of
Adjustable Frequency Control Switch

companies have quoted prices over $4,000.
