Water vote Monday In an attempt to provide Sandy with an adequate water supply the Sandy City Council has set Monday as election day for a $155,000 water bond issue The Monday election, first on that day in Sandy's 61 year history, would provide funds for construction of a proposed water storage reservoir of either 750,000 or one million gallon capacity, depending on the final construction bids M a rtin B oatw right, city engineer, estimates the larger tank would cost the city $184,000 The difference between the bond issue and the actual cos, would be paid from the city’s water improvement fund, an ac count set aside for long-range water system capital improvements Currently the fund contains about $30,000. "Lack of water is the moat pressing problem facing the citizens of Sandy who are faced with water rationing during dry, hot periods," says Carl Hatfield, city manager. “ Lack of water also threatens future growth in the city,” he adds Hatfield says construction of the smaller tank would allow from 155 to 170additional water service connections The million gallon reservoir would provide 210 to 235 more hookups. "That would be between 500 and 625 more people in Sandy ” Hatfield says. Based on a 5 per cent a year growth rate as projected in the Sandy Comprehensive Plan, the 750,000 gallon reservoir would handle the city's growth until about 1982, while a million gallon tank could supply G reat Way To Voi. 65 Single Copy 15' The Sandy until 1984. Hatfield says Because of continuing income for the water improvement fund and a new systems development charge on new construction the proposed reservoir would be paid off without any increase in city taxes or water rate increases, Hatfield says. The system development charges in clude a fee equal to the building permit fee on all new construction, a charge of 20 cents per square foot of building area assessed as a connection fee and a charge of 4 cents per square foot of land area Applicants for building permits would buy th e ir way. Money collected for systems development will be used to pay for existing capital improvements and future development of water, sewer and street systems Mt.
