A significant discussion emerged during the Summit County Council meeting on July 5, 2023, regarding a planned tour of the Park City Water Treatment Facility. Council members expressed the importance of attending this tour, which is set to follow a joint council meeting at the Richlands Building.

The tour, initially unclear in scheduling, is now confirmed to take place from 9 AM to noon, with transportation being arranged for attendees. Council member Chris raised concerns about the timing, noting prior commitments that may prevent attendance. However, the tour is seen as crucial, particularly as it relates to Park City's efforts to reduce reliance on the Lost Canyon pipeline operated by Mountain Regional.

This shift is expected to create surplus water that Park City can sell to Summit Water and other entities, potentially delaying the need for a large-scale water importation project. The council emphasized that this visit is not merely a casual outing but a vital opportunity to understand the future of the region's water management.

As the council prepares for the tour, the implications of these developments could significantly impact local water resources and planning strategies moving forward.
