SPRINKLER SYSTEMS: If you didn’t have a test on your sprinkler system backflow preventer done last year, please have one done this year and return your report to City Hall or email: 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. Thank you to those that have already brought in test results. Odd numbered addresses are to be tested in odd numbered years and even numbered addresses are to be tested in even numbered years. If you have an even numbered address and did not test last year, those need to be tested this year also. Thank you for your cooperation!

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. To avoid possible fines, please also do not fill alleys 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.**
A dumpster has been placed on the west side of Silo Park off of North Front & C Street for items that you need to discard. Household garbage is not allowed at the dumpster.
INFORMATION FOR PROPER DISPOSAL OF GARDEN & YARD WASTE: This is important because yard waste in the streets can be washed into the cities drains causing them to plug up. It is difficult to clean the drains out and creates a hazard for potential street flooding. Wet grass and leaves are also a breeding ground for mosquitos. The city would appreciate your cooperation in keeping the gutters clean. Thank you for your attention to this.
