10-7-14.1. Declaration of public policy.
Whereas, the purification of drinking water and the treatment of raw sewage are important
to public health and welfare and create an unusual need for money with which to create proper
facilities for the protection of the people of the state of Utah, it is hereby declared to be the public
policy of this state to grant the privilege to municipalities to raise funds to improve the
aforementioned health standards, to encourage the municipalities to provide that no waste shall be
discharged into any waters of the state of Utah without first being given proper treatment, to
provide for the treatment of water to be used for drinking purposes to protect the health of the
citizens and to give municipalities the discretion to determine the priority of development of the
facilities directed toward the elimination of health hazards and pollution of public waters. The
construction of the facilities herein mentioned shall be given an early priority in those areas where
the present welfare of the people is endangered by the lack of such facilities.
