Councilmember Denison reported that the Price River Water Improvement
District held a Public Hearing on Tuesday, April 7th, to open and revise their budget that
was adopted in December, 1997. In that budget, an amount of $120,000 was designated
towards remodeling their office building on Fairgrounds Road. A portion of those funds
will now be applied towards the reduction for each city (Helper, Price, Wellington) of
$1.50 per month per sewer connection beginning April 1, 1998. In addition, a study will be
conducted to determine what the dollar figure accurately should be for future purposes,
whether it be $.50, $1.50 or $3.00. Approximately 20 people from the County attended the
meeting, whose major concern was if there would be a rate increase effected by this. They
were assured that at this point, there would not be. However, after the study is
evaluated, there may be an increase. An independent agency will conduct the study. Nick
Sampinos noted that PRWID Chairman Greg Marsing resigned. Councilmember Denison was
appointed as Vice Chairman.
