Council to confirm whether city’s water service-area map was formally filed with state
Summary
Council discussed a water service-area map discussed years earlier that may not have been formally adopted or submitted to the Utah Division of Water Rights; members agreed to check state records and return the item to a future agenda if the filing is missing.
A council discussion focused on the city’s water service-area map and whether it was ever formally adopted and submitted to the state.
Council member Boomer said the map had been discussed about five years earlier but city records do not show that it was adopted or signed. Speakers noted state law required the city to provide a designated water-service area to the Division of Water Rights (state engineer) and suggested staff check with that office to see whether a map is on file.
Council members debated whether adoption required a resolution or ordinance; staff said they had a map in their records but no signed ordinance number or record of filing. The council asked staff to contact the state engineer’s office and, if the state shows no filing, to return the item to a future council agenda so the city can adopt and record a map that matches the division’s records.
No final adoption was recorded at the meeting; the council’s direction was for staff to verify whether the Division of Water Rights already has the map and to place the item on a future agenda if it is missing.
