**This event is not replacing the annual Trunk or Treat that happens on
Halloween that is put on by the Community, this is a separate event.**
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!
FINAL CITY CLEANUP: The date for the city’s last cleanup to begin is October 17th.
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)
- 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.
Do not place anything, anytime in alleys. Alleys are being used to put campers, trailers, fire wood and other debris in. Please remember that these city easements are for utility services, city equipment and emergency equipment only. To avoid $150 fine, please park and place all personal items on your own property, not in alleys.
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.
BURNING WITHIN THE CITY: County guidelines must be followed. You can register and read regulations for burning at the following website: http://fdmadison.org/.
WINTERIZING 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.
