Running out of room in Utah

A small town in Utah wants to establish a cemetery; currently, folks can be buried in the cemetery in the town next door, but it costs much more than if they could be buried in their own town. Not just any site will do, the mayor notes, because they need a low water table in order to bury their own.
Says Mayor Laurel Brady:

"I don't know why something wasn't acquired sooner. Lately people were
wishing we had. Cemeteries are something that don't come up (in city planning)."
