Special Watering Procedures
NO MORE COMPLAINTS
Many residents have expressed concern over water conversation this year as temperatures have been above normal and precipitation below normal. Several residents have called the city upset that businesses, churches, parks, and government facilities have been watering during the day. Pine View Water System has specifically asked that government, churches, and businesses water during the day to take the pressure off the system so the residential properties have enough water pressure to water at night. Most of the water use is for residential purposes. Please do not contact the city with complaints about government, church, or businesses watering during the day. This is actually a conservation measure to ensure that there is adequate water for the vastly larger system of residential users to water at night. Thank you for your understanding and taking water conservation seriously.
HIGHWAY 89 FOLLOW-UP
Mayor Bruce Richins, Council Member Michelle Tait, and several Harrisville staff members met with Kris Peterson, the Director of UDOT Region 1, and several of his staff. Several officials from the charter school were also present along with the North View
Fire Chief.The concerns with the median recently installed on Highway 89 near Larsen Lane were discussed, including the comments from the last council meeting made by residents in the community. Mr. Peterson listened and expressed his understanding. All parties focused on resolving concerns and public safety while avoiding blame and accusations. The meeting was productive. Mr. Peterson took that matter under advisement and committed to contact Mayor Richins within a few days with a decision. We are pleased to announce that Mr. Peterson contacted Mayor Richins with a compromise solution where access to North Harrisville Road will be restored. Also, other modifications may be made at the discretion of UDOT and information will be forthcoming. We express thanks to all those involved who handled this matter with civility. Gratitude is also extended to Mr. Peterson and his UDOT staff for listening to residents, concerns of the city, and finding a solution. This is all of the information the city has received at this time, additional information will be made public as soon as it is provided to the city. Thank you for your patience.
