Utah taxpayers to rescue Duchesne subdivision from septic nightmare

$6M fix • Does state bailout reward Roosevelt developer and contractors whose faulty planning led to Stonegate sewage debacle?

Brian Maffly | The Salt Lake Tribune Andy Adamson’s home is only a few years old but its basement floor is already riven with cracks thanks to a high water table in the Stonegate subdivision west of Roosevelt. Residents who bought into this new subdivision on former agricultural lands should not have been approved given the area’s drainage problems that are now rendering septic systems useless. Duchesne County could impose a moratorium on residential construction in its unincorporated Hancock Cove until this subdivided agricultural area can be sewered.
