Kanosh council continues talks with Dixie Power over possible sale of local lines and three‑phase extension
Summary
Council members said they are negotiating a contract with Dixie Power for sale of town power infrastructure and discussed a three‑phase line to a well; town staff is reviewing and condensing an original several‑page contract before attorney review and submission to Dixie.
Council members said talks with Dixie Power are ongoing over a possible sale of the town’s power line and the installation of a three‑phase line to service a well.
Speaker 3 said they have been communicating with Dixie representatives (named as Brandon and Alan) and had Justin Wayman review the original contract. "I had Justin Wayman go through the original contract and just kinda line out a bunch of stuff," Speaker 3 said; the chair said the town wants to condense the contract from five or six pages to a shorter document before attorney review and submission to Dixie.
Council members discussed timing for the three‑phase installation and procurement concerns. No start date is set; the council noted potential schedule impacts from a federal shutdown affecting draws, but members said it should not delay the pre‑construction phase. The council also discussed longer‑term questions about power providers: Speaker 5 raised that Dixie Power customers pay about 5¢ per kilowatt‑hour and contrasted that with the town’s current six‑month average with UAMPS of about 7.8¢ per kilowatt‑hour, noting implications for town revenue if infrastructure is transferred.
No formal decision was made; staff will continue contract revisions and seek attorney review before any agreement is submitted to Dixie.
