Steven explained they did a soft launch and trying to work out the mechanical/tech bugs or glitches, and the reason for some still having to use the hydrant is due to those glitch bugs, and after these are worked out there will be some more information out in order for people to register to use the fill station.

Steven- UDOT and Genola Hwy 6 road update- they have done multiple studies and although they did not get 100% funding from UDOT, they did get enough to make a difference. The intersection on the road to Genola-State Street and the Highway will have a left turn lane and the right west bound will be widened and lengthened. They are also going to take away the swell in the road that causes non-visibility and in the future possibly put in a passing lane. There will also be some more signs and street lights as well. Construction with this project will be done in 2027. Interesting fact, the peak hours of traffic on that road is Friday and Sunday nights. Dave did ask about various plans he had heard about along the highway but no one could confirm any of them.
