Council Decides Against Ashley Water Extension
The Vernal City Council on Wednesday evening rejected requests to extend water lines outside the city. Citizens along a rural road north of Fifth West and Ryan North sought to form a company to buy water from Vernal. The unanimous vote followed the water committee’s recommendation that the city is not adequately supplied or able to allow outside extension. The group can only pursue city water by petitioning to bring their property inside the city, as the council outlined a multi year plan to expand and improve the water system.
