Highline Canal land exchange and future piping
Summary
Payson swapped small parcels with the Bureau of Reclamation to clear up decades-old encroachments, paving the way for piping the canal. Piping is still years away pending federal environmental study, but these ordinances remove the legal obstacles. The council required protection of city trail access near Dry Creek.

Impact analysis
No money changes hands in the land swap, though future pipeline construction is a federal project.
The city and nearby property owners gain clear title and legal certainty before the canal is piped.
