Meeting notes from the March 25 meeting of the Metropolitan Water District of Salt Lake & Sandy.
Joan Degiorgio - Chair of Environmental CommitteeAmmon Allen, the engineering manager at the Metropolitan Water District of Salt Lake & Sandy, explained that Salt Lake City is adding a valve to the Terminal Reservoir at the base of Parleys Canyon.
There was an easement agreement in 2012 involving the district with Salt Lake City, which this would update. This addendum insures the water district for liability coverage and also clarifies ownership and operation responsibilities. The addendum was already approved by Salt Lake City, so it only needs to be approved by the district for it to be official.The Utah Division of Water Resources has awarded $1.4 million, which will fund the design for a replacement of three pipe segments totaling over 1,483 feet. These pipes were addressed in theand sit on a fault line. This grant will be a part of the fiscal year 2025 plans, but a consultant will be selected in June of 2024.A consulting firm named Davenport was being subcontracted by the firm and engineers who were working on this project. This contract will move their services so they are directly tied to the Metropolitan Water District of Salt Lake and Sandy .The right-of-way acquisitions are where property or easements is acquired in order to complete the given project. The district wants to be the sole-source contractor for Davenport.In a recent meeting, the district approved a five-year contract with Kimley-Horn. The scope of their services is focused around community relations. The particular task order will last for a year involving the Salt Lake Aqueduct Replacement project, where the consultant will lead weekly engagement meetings, send weekly construction update emails and several other activities connecting with stakeholders. Patricia Comarell, the secretary on the board of trustees, was interested in where Kimley-Horn would perform their community meetings. She was worried that if they conducted the meetings at the Metropolitan Water District of Salt Lake and Sandy, they would have poor community turnout.The snow year continues to be very successful. Utah is currently at the median peak for winter precipitation. There will likely be more precipitation which means that this year will rank above the median for the past 10 years.. College student journalists from all over Utah are hired to attend and take notes at public water meetings in Utah. These notes are then published for anyone to read or use. The project is aimed at providing better public access to meetings where major decisions are made about a limited Utah resource.
