Council notes title transfer of transmission line from Bureau of Reclamation to South Utah Valley Power Systems
Summary
A council member told the Payson City Council that title to a transmission line formerly serviced by the Bureau of Reclamation was transferred to South Utah Valley Power Systems, making the city a member-owner; the speaker called the change the culmination of decades of effort.
A council member told the Payson City Council on March 19 that the city is now a member-owner of the South Utah Valley Power Systems following a title transfer from the U.S. Bureau of Reclamation.
The council member said the transfer makes the municipality an official owner and that the change resolves a long-standing arrangement that had left the line under federal service. The speaker said the transfer followed about 30 years of effort and thanked the Bureau of Reclamation for working with the city to effect the transfer.
The remark was made during council reports as an informational update; no formal council action on the transfer was recorded in the meeting transcript. The council member did not specify operational or financial details, such as exact effective dates, any change in service contracts, or whether additional approvals are required from state or federal agencies. Those details were not included in the meeting record and are therefore not reported here.
