Council discusses $4.5M Phase Two water improvements as first-priority CIB application
Staff proposed a roughly $4.5 million Phase Two water system improvements package — upsizing six-inch lines to eight-inch, looping dead-end mains, and adding a dedicated feed to the 5-million-gallon storage tank — and recommended requesting a 70% grant/30% loan from the CIB as the city's higher-priority application.

Public Works Director Keith Despain presented Phase Two of Vernal's water system improvements to be submitted as a CIB application.
