Subject: City Creek Center - Example of a High Cost Feature
Date: Apr 28, 2010
Author: The Mighty Builder

To help in the understanding of WHY the City Creek Center is so expensive and the cost keep increasing, I will relate the following.

The name sake of the project is the City Creek that runs down City Creek Canyon to the Jordan River. In 1909 the creek was placed in an underground conduit down North Temple Street from outside of Memory Grove to west of the State Fairpark where the water exits into the Jordan River.

The brain trusts at the Mormon church decided that a water feature was necessary for the City Creek Project. And only “true” City Creek Water will fit the bill. So the water features in the project will have water pumped up to the feature, run along an artificial “creek” and into a water pond where fish and other aquatic creatures and plants will be on display. After the use of the water, the excess will be piped to a storm system since it cannot be returned to City Creek, since it is now contaminated by its use.

There is currently a raging argument going on as to whether the used water needs to be treated before it is sent to the storm system, since EPA regulations are very strict on what is allowed into a storm water drainage system.

Costs for this water feature are estimated between 6.5 Million and 38 Million depending upon what is finally approved.

Stands to reason that Jesus wants no fakery when it comes to sacred water......behold how the simple prayer said over tap water must be word-perfect if it is to convey its magical potency into the water.

The EPA must somehow come to understand that City Creek water is sacred, not toxic.

and replace it with a "perfected" and controllable man made artificial river that requires big $$$ to build and maintain.

How many poor could be helped with the money being spent on this artificial aquifer? How long before City Creek floods and the pump gets all clogged up with silt, rocks and sticks? How long before the pump gets clogged with trash that gets blown or dropped into it?

Will the pond have fish that are Native to Utah or will they be exotic Koi and other types that are more colorful for customers to watch, but more expensive to maintain out doors in Utah?

I've always wondered about the underground creek as well - as far as what kind of conditon is this 1909 conduit in, is it maintenanced, what will happen to this mall if there is another big runoff like in 1983, etc.

Anybody here know anything about this?

Just wonderin.

Have they lost their minds? For some reason Trump tower pops into my mind. Didn't The Donald go broke after he built it? Don't the COB folks remember the Tower of Babel? I'd hate to see people lose jobs and money invested in businesses, but still I admit I would enjoy seeing this all blow up in their faces. If the god of the old testament is still around, surely he will strike them down.

Thanks for the post, Mighty Builder.

This is the mall of Babel. After it's built, Mormon leaders will speak denials in many tongues.
