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

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
