The announcement of the iconic Rocky Point sign will be taken down next week. The dilapidated landmark metal sign, which has been pointing to the Rocky Hill on North Ogden’s Highway 89 for nearly 50 years, will be taken down. It will then be cleaned, dismantled and cut into pieces and used to create various pieces of art and furniture by Ms. Neil, daughter of Scott Crabtree, the original owner of Rocky Point. We will have a full story and pictures coming.
Open letter from Mayor Toby Mileski:
Sunday, November 20, 2016
At our last Council Meeting we approved the project to build a pump house and install the pipe to bring the water into our system at a cost of just over $570,000, not including the property purchase, electrical items, and power supply to name a few more items.
Here is the plan: we will be connecting into the Weber Basin Well just off 2550 N and 750 W. The pump house location will be right in that area and the pipe will go along 2550 N and connect into 600 W and the other connection will connect into an existing pipe and go into the 1000 W connection.
After all that…. we are still not done! One of the many requirements is that the City build a reservoir to store the water. The idea is that the reservoir would fill in the off -demand hours and gravity feed back into the system versus keeping a static pressure. This would need to be done within the next three years, in order to meet the terms of the contract. We will start the funding discussion of this just after the first of the year.
As we have more, I will send it out.
