Resident seeks transparency on water/sewer MOU for proposed man camp amid drought concerns
Summary
A resident asked when the council will consider the memorandum of understanding for water and sewer connections for a proposed man camp; the city attorney said any extension of utility service beyond corporate limits will require council approval with engineer and public-works input.
A resident (identified in the transcript as My Slaughter, speaker 10) asked when the city would discuss the memorandum of understanding (MOU) for water and sewer service for a proposed man camp and urged transparency given the area’s voluntary water restrictions and drought conditions.
The mayor and city attorney (Harris) responded that any request to extend water or sewer connections beyond the city’s corporate limits requires council approval and will include input from the engineer and public-works staff; because the property lies in Uinta County outside the city limits, the city must still approve the connection when requested. Council members said they expect the request to come to the city in the near future and that the public will have an opportunity to weigh in.
The exchange centered on timing and public involvement; council did not take formal action at the meeting.
