Lions Club talked water with the experts last night.  Guest speakers were Payson City Engineer Travis Jockumsen, P.E., and Dan Ellsworth of the Highline Canal Company, who each apprised club members of water concerns in a time of drought, a bit of history, as well as hopes and plans for new infrastructure and cooperation between local agencies.
