The Coalfield Progress reports that the combination of grants and loans is from the federal Rural Development Program. The money will go for upgrading the town’s water treatment plant and increasing water storage capacity at the Bear Creek reservoir. The projects are expected to get underway in February of next year. Mayor Cliff Carson said – quote – We’re talking about truly dramatic improvements to the town’s water system – end quote.

COAL REPORT May 13, 2008
The operators of the Crandall Canyon mine in Utah, where nine miners died last year, withheld information from the government, according to a Congressional study. The study said that the deadly accident would probably never have happened if the Murray Energy company had given the government the information it held. In March 2007 the mine suffered a collapse or bump that clearly indicated the mine was becoming unstable. But the company never told the government about the bump, as it was required to do, instead going ahead with plans for similar mining elsewhere in the mine. In August 2007 another bump killed six miners; three more died during rescue efforts.
