SPRING CLEANUP: The city_has set a tentatíve date of May 8th to start sprinq cleanup. Please wait for city wide clean-up to put out garbage to help prevent the wind from blowing garbage around our city. To help those of you that would lilce to start your yard clean-up early, the dumpster on the west side of town just north of the old elevator is now available for use. Reminder: Household garbage is not allowed at the dumpster.
WATERING: We read the water meters at the end of March. This means you will see an adjustment to your water bill based on how good our winter estimate was. This also means you can start watering again. WATERING TIP: According to research from Utah State University in Logan, Utah, lawns dont really require as much water as many of us are giving them. Lawns should receive Y2 inch of water every 3 to 4 days. Place water cans or buckets around your yard when you water. As soon as you get Y2 inch of water in your bucket or can, stop watering and remember how much time it took the sprinkler to put that much water out. Set your timer to only give that much water every 3 – 4 days. You will have to water more frequently as it gets hotter in July and August by watering every 2-3 days. Increasing the amount of water will not help; it will only wash through the soil.
“REMINDER”: If you didn’t have a test on your sprinlder system backflow preventer done last year, please have one done this year and bring your report into City Hall. This is necessary to ensure that contamination of the water supply will not happen in the event of a pressure loss to the water system. Thank you to those that have already brought in test results!
REVERSE 911 SYSTEM: We would like to encourage all citizens to sign up for Reverse 911. Go to madisonsheriff.com under Alert Sense and it will take you to the page to subscribe for emergency notifications.

It appears that spring has finally come. It’s now time to do our spring clean-ups. I would like to encourage all of us to continue to make our community a beautiful place to live. Remember that the city-wide cleanup is coming on May 8th. If you are going to use this service instead of the dumpster the city provides, then please put out the items you need picked up just prior to the clean-up date. Thank you.
On August 21st at 11:33am there will be a total eclipse of the sun. This may bring thousands of people to our surrounding communities, from all parts of the world. The City has participated in many meetings to plan for this major undertaking. We are planning for the worst, but hoping for the best.
The city has designated Smith and Heritage parks as general viewing areas for the people coming to our community. Of course, you are in a great area to just see it from your own homes. However, all are welcome into the parks, since we are trying to have vendors come to provide food and other appropriate items, including glasses so you can look at the eclipse. If you have any concerns, or want additional information about the eclipse, please feel free to contact us.
The city just recently held their first town hall meeting on the new well and water tank that we are considering. The next meetings will be on the following dates, May 17′, July 12″, and September 20″. These meetings will be held at city hall and begin at 7:00 pm. I encourage all of you to attend these meetings.
A question was asked at this last meeting as to whether or not the city has a current bond issue, and how long it has until it will be paid in full. The answer to that question is yes, and it runs until 2025. However, the city
does have the option that if a new Bond issue is approved by the voters, it can roll the e)dsting bond into the new one, if it is deemed financially
prudent because of the potentially lower interest rates.
We will have three new businesses come to our city. First, there is a new
business coming to the Business Park that manufactures shoes with special soles that are made from a special rubber developed in South America.
Secondly, an existing building is to be refurbished, which is located on
Railroad Avenue, to provide space for events, such as wedding receptions, etc. And Thirdly, the old grocery store will be renovated and a new Steak House restaurant will be developed. We are excited for these businesses,
and for the positive impact they will have on Sugar City.
I have worked with businesses for many years, and am aware of the good they do for our communities. They donate thousands of dollars to good
activities, such as youth athletics and others. I welcome them.
Now that summer is approaching, remember to be safe. Summer is a
great time to get out and have some fun, but I encourage everyone to
obey traffic laws, and be safe. We want all of you to be around for a long time. Thank you.
Sincerely,
David D. Ogden, Mayor
