"I hope I have explained it correctly,  maybe this will help, look up why you cannot have dogs on Deer Creek res, the answer will surprise you, Im not even sure if Bob knows. but I bet he can find it."

It is much better (or worse, depending upon how one looks at it) than it used to be up at Deer Creek.  When I was probably around age 4 or 5 (it has been a few years) I was fishing Deer Creek, with my parents, from the shore.  I took off my shoes and was wading in water maybe a foot deep.  The official boat that we would often see up there came by and one of the two guys on the boat yelled at me, "Get out of the water, don't you know that Deer Creek is drinking water!"  I'm sure that guy would turn over in his grave if he saw all of the people playing in his "drinking water" these days.

My how times have changed. If you come past Jordanelle and look into the valley below the dam you will see two red buildings that look like barns. They in fact are a sewage treatment plant. They are working on a deal to dump the treated water into our irrigation canal through the summer but once the irrigation season ends they will dump that treated water right into the Provo River through the winter months. We've been trying to fight it but the outcome doesn't look good.
