Rocky Mountain Power is considering an option to expand its electricity capabilities in Park City without having to increase the space where the substation off Bonanza Drive is situated.
It was an unexpected statement from Rocky Mountain Power after months of tense talks about the substation that centered on an apparent need for more space for an expanded substation.
In an interview, a Rocky Mountain Power official heavily involved in the discussions in Park City said there are talks underway with officials in Heber that could result in the company not needing some of the transmission-line upgrades previously discussed in Park City.
Steve Rush, the customer and community manager for Rocky Mountain Power, said a deal is possible with Heber leaders to rebuild 10 miles of transmission lines from the Jordanelle Reservoir to Midway.
If that occurs, he said, Rocky Mountain Power could expand the capacity of the existing lines into Park City. The power poles in Park City would not need to be replaced with taller ones, he said. Park Record

Construction crews work on 18-mile pipeline to deliver water from under old steel mill
Construction crews are working on the last seven miles of an 18-mile pipeline that will carry water from aquifers under an old steel mill near Utah Lake to growing communities.
The 60-inch pipe is scheduled to begin delivering water in July 2014 as part of a $450 million project to capture the water under the old Geneva Steel property near Vineyard.
The water will be sold to the municipalities of Vineyard, Lehi, Saratoga Springs and Eagle Mountain and to the Jordan Valley Water Conservancy District, which serves growth areas in the southwestern part of the Salt Lake Valley.
Several aquifers lie beneath the surface of much of the northern Utah Valley, extending deep beneath Utah Lake. The Geneva mill drew water from those aquifers, using an estimated 50,000 acre-feet of water each year.
No federal funds were involved with the project, which means homeowners who receive water from the municipalities will pay for it. The project is expected to be entirely paid off by 2035. The Republic
