The Permanent Community Impact Fund Board changed a $7 million low-interest loan to a no-interest loan to help build a new water system in the northwestern Kane County vacation community, Zion View Estates. The project would help owners of 250 homes and lots after state regulators ordered the community last summer to correct its water safety problems immediately or face a system shutdown. State Representative Mike Noel of Kanab and manager of the Kane County Water Conservancy District, has estimated the entire project will cost $18.7 million, and he’s seeking grants and loans from a variety of sources to help pay for it.
