State Water Pollution Control Board State

CROCKETT, Justice. This case involves a controversy between The State Water Pollution Control Board and Salt Lake City concerning
the City's failure to conform to certain of the Board's regulations pertaining to sewerage systems. The fundamental contention
of the City is that it is not subject to these regulations. The Water Pollution Board was created by the 1953 Legislature. Its declared purpose was to 'Control, Prevent and Abate the
Pollution of Surface and Underground Waters of the State.' 1 Pursuant to the Act, 2 the Board adopted a set of regulations
for sewerage systems to which some of the practices Salt Lake City has followed for many years do not conform.
