Liberty Pipeline Company

 LPC is undergoing a major pipeline replacement project which includes adding booster pumps and well refurbishment.  These projects will occasionally require water shut offs which hopefully will not last more than a few hours at a time.  Unexpected water leaks will also create situations that require LPC to shut water off to make the necessary repairs.  It is difficult for our secretary to isolate and determine exactly which shareholders are impacted when this occurs.  Therefore, notifications are not sent out unless she is notified by the maintenance crew of an extended length of time to complete repairs.  LPC does not consist of a full staff of individuals.  This company consists of five board members who donate their time while trying to prioritize between donated hours and other paying job obligations.  We appreciate your patience and understanding of the obstacles the board members face in order to keep this company running.  If you have ideas and suggestions, and a desire to fill

During the Annual 2024 Shareholder meeting those in attendance were informed that LPC requested a rate study be completed by Rural Water to ensure the company can adequately pay for necessary upgrades and repairs.  This resulted in a significant increase to the Shareholders monthly assessment amount.  The Board has tried to keep the water rates low, however, with the Pipeline Replacement Project, necessary to decrease the number of leaks, and the Booster Pump Project, necessary to increase flow to the northern section of the system, we no longer have the ability to keep the low rates in place.  In addition to the expense of necessary repairs and upgrades, LPC has the expense of ongoing Attorney fees in an effort to resolve the lawsuit filed by Arrowleaf LLC involving one of LPCs water sources (the Bailey Tank).  LPC encourages Shareholders to continue their conservation efforts.  The base rate for 20,000 gallons per month has increased to $70.  If more than 20,000 gallons per month is

LPC is in the process of completing additional springtime water testing due to the slight change in watercolor that usually occurs each year when the snowpack is melting.  All culinary tests completed in March resulted in good results with no issues identified.  The lime beds above the North Fork springs have been upgraded and all follow-up tests did not result in any additional improvements required by the Division of Drinking Water (DDW).  The lime bed is the treatment in place to maintain an acceptable PH level which is used to prevent corrosive water. LPC is a Shareholder owned company, please keep in mind that all additional testing required that has resulted from phone calls made will be paid for by all Shareholders.  The suggestion that LPC can be fined would also be funds paid for by the Shareholders.  If you have a concern with your individual water supply, we recommend that you follow the DDW suggestion and have your water tested by their department.  The board consists of fi

 The Annual Shareholders Meeting has been scheduled for April 29, 2024.  The meeting will begin at 7:00 pm - 9:00 pm to be held at the Eden Bowery 2100 N 5600 E Eden, UT.
