WATER METERS: Last meter reading of this year will be taken at  the end of this month. To keep your average utility bill for the  winter lower, stop outdoor watering by October 25th. MAKE  SURE METERS ARE UNCOVERED! The public works crew has had  problems reading meters because some are covered. Please do  not store cars, trailers, woodpiles or other objects on top of city  meters. This takes the crew more time to do their job  efficiently.

FALL TREE PRUNING: While trimming your trees and bushes this fall, please remember  to trim along the streets and back off of street signs. Branches along streets must be  trimmed twelve (12) feet up off the ground. Bushes along streets must be trimmed  down to a height of no more than 3 feet. Thank you! 

ALLEY CLUTTER: We have noticed that many of the city alleys are being used to park campers,  trailers, fire wood and other debris. Please remember that these city easements are for utility  

services, city equipment and emergency equipment only. Please park and place all personal items on your own property, not in alleys. Please  also do not fill alleys after fall city cleanup until two weeks before next fall’s clean-up. **Storing debris on streets or alleys is a violation of city  code 3-1-13:A. Storing items on streets or alleys is a violation of city code 6-1-2:A.** 

CITY CLEANUP: The date for city cleanup to begin is October 19th. There will no longer be a spring cleanup. Please do not put items out on the  roads or alleys more than two weeks ahead of time. If you have items that you need to discard before the city cleanup, please note that we  have a dumpster on the west side of Silo Park off of North Front & C Street. Please follow the guidelines below for items to be removed or  placed in the dumpster. 

Due to regulations, we cannot pick up: 

leaves and grass clippings (in or out of bags) please take to city dumpster at the location mentioned above, tree limbs that are longer than six (6) feet, 

large remodeling materials, roofing, large pieces of concrete and tires, 

hazardous waste such as paint, chemicals, batteries, & used oil. 

Please keep piles away from fences, sheds or other items to alleviate the potential for damage. If items are placed  close to fences, sheds, utility boxes, they will not be picked up and the homeowner will have the responsibility to  remove the debris within one week of city cleanup before being cited. 

BURNING WITHIN THE CITY: County guidelines must be followed. You can register and read regulations for burning at the following website:  http://fdmadison.org/.  

SPRINKLER SYSTEMS: When winterizing your sprinkler systems, please have your backflow preventer checked if you didn’t have a test done  this summer or last year; please email your report to city hall (ajacobson@sugarcityidaho.gov). 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.  

SEWAGE PROBLEMS: Our city insurance provider has asked us to remind all citizens, “… of the importance of NOT flushing flushable wipes,  sanitizer wipes, paper towels or anything else that isn’t toilet paper.” Please help us prevent sewer backups by disposing of these items in  some other way.
