Description
WADE, Justice. Appeal by plaintiff Salt Lake City from a judgment of the District Court affirming the State Engineers approval of what is therein designated an Application for the Right of Exchange of Water by defendant Boundary Springs Water Users Association, respondent here. This application proposes to change the place of diversion of 1.5675 cubic feet per second of the waters of Mill Creek, a stream flowing out of Mill Creek Canyon in the mountains east of Salt Lake City, from the various diversion places of several ditches below the mouth of the Canyon to the upper and lower Boundary Springs about two thousand feet up stream and above the Canyon mouth. These springs are tributaries of Mill Creek. They arise in the canyon within about 20 feet from the side of the Creek and in their natural state they immediately flowed into and were mingled with the other waters of that stream above the places where defendants water was formerly diverted. The purpose of the exchange or change is to obtain pure water from the Springs and pipe it out of the canyon for domestic and culinary use before it is mixed with the other waters of the Creek which are contaminated to such extent that they are unfit for human consumption without more than mere chlorination.
