As part of the development of Bluffdale City, the city needs to add a water line to a currently non-residential area. The water line will be providing water to the new Utah Data Center at Camp Williams. The line has been under construction for the past couple of years.
The three largest construction elements included in this project are the water line, the pump and the tank. Each of these construction projects has to be cleared through the city council before they can be started.
Bluffdale has been contracted as part of the building of the UDC to finish the water line by Sept. 30. To help realize this contract, several different companies will help with the project.
The water line has been contracted to BD Bush which has already started construction and is on track toward the late September completion.
The water line will furnish the UDC with a capacity of up to one million gallons of water per day. This capacity is not only designed to furnish the UDC with water, but to also service the further development of Bluffdale's southern section. The company that will be building the three- million-gallon water tank has yet to be contracted.
Each section of the project was bid on by different companies and has been awarded separately. The estimated cost of the water line is about $1.2 million. The cost of the pump house is about $1.2 million. The cost of the tank has yet to be determined.
"This could have a positive effect on rates and it is one of the most redeeming features of the project," Mark Reid, Bluffdale city manager, said.

Bluffdale has been contracted as part of the building of the UDC to finish the water line by Sept. 30. To help realize this contract, several different companies will help with the project.
Hills Construction has been awarded the contract to build the pump house which will resemble the fire station located at 14350 South 2200 West. The outside of the house will have the appearance of a small home. This design was chosen due to the proposed location of the pump house on the southwest corner of 15000 South and Redwood Road.
"We figured it was important to have the house look good because of its location," Brent Ventura, a Horrocks Engineers representative, said.The water line has been contracted to BD Bush which has already started construction and is on track toward the late September completion.
