County representative urges Levan to register water projects for CIB/CIV funding; discusses water sale pricing
Summary
A county/state representative told the Levan council that water projects must be listed in the Utah project portal to be eligible for state funding and noted the CIB/CIV application deadline of May 1; he also described advertised per‑acre pricing for groundwater on a public listing.
Shane Morrison, a county/state representative attending the Jan. 8 Levan Town Council meeting, advised the council that to be eligible for state funding streams — including CIB/CIV — water and infrastructure projects should be entered into the Utah project portal (UIP). He said the current CIB/CIV application cycle closes May 1, and that projects submitted after last year’s UF deadline (Dec. 31) would be considered in the next program year.
Morrison also briefed the council on a public listing for groundwater the town has discussed. He told the council the seller was not disclosing total available volume but that the listing’s public price points showed roughly $30 per acre for 1–2 acres, $28.05 per acre for 2–5 acres, and $27 per acre for larger parcels. He said bulk or municipal purchases could be negotiated separately.
On the CDBG pickleball courts project, Morrison said the state had issued some contracts and cautioned the town not to begin construction until state contracts and engineering bids are fully executed.
Morrison offered to help council members with UIP and grant applications and to provide open‑and‑public‑meeting training for newly elected officials during the Feb. meeting. He left contact information for follow‑up and encouraged the town to list any potential water projects to preserve eligibility for state funding.
