Compost/ Recycling/ Green Waste Site Closed for Peach Days
Due to Peach Days celebrations and activities the Compost/Recycling Green Waste site will be closed to the public on Friday, September 6 and Saturday, September 7, 2024
Please do not drop your children off at the fire station, as we are no longer allowed to have children ride on the fire trucks in the Peach Days parade. This is a requirement from our insurance provider.
It's Peach Days! The biggest event of the year is taking over Brigham City for the weekend, and while the temperatures aren't as hot as they could be, it's still important to stay hydrated and use sunscreen! Stop by the emergency preparedness booth to get a bottle of water, sign up for CERT classes, and learn more about all the ways you can be prepared for emergencies and disasters.
While you're there, you can also sign up for Everbridge notifications, which is the first step to entering this week's drawing. They'll have a QR code at the booth, or you can click on this link: https://member.everbridge.net/2746446902198312/new. THEN, fill out the form at https://bcutah.sjc1.qualtrics.com/jfe/form/SV_5oORqacBxFJdbBY. We'll verify that you are signed up and enter you into the weekly drawing.
Last Days of Fun at the Splash Pad!
The Splash Pad season will come to an end on Monday, September 9th! We hope the community has enjoyed this amenity and look forward to next year!
Do you know someone who has gone above and beyond what is expected in serving the public?
Brigham City Corporation is accepting applications for the Jim Davis Extraordinary Service Award. Annually, the Brigham City Council recognizes a Brigham City employee or citizen that has performed extraordinary service to our community. This award is in memory of the dedication and commitment rendered by Jim Davis as Public Power Director and City Council Member. When Council Member Jim Davis died suddenly from cancer in 2002, the City Council adopted Resolution 02-23 establishing the Jim Davis Extraordinary Public Service Award.
To nominate an individual for this award, write a short narrative that includes specific examples of how your nominee has gone above and beyond what is expected in serving the public. Submit your nomination by 5:00 pm on September 27 to Brigham City Corporation, Attn: Mayor’s Office, 20 North Main Street, Brigham City, Utah 84302, or email to dpett@bcutah.gov.
When a large-scale emergency or disaster occurs, Brigham City may need to rely on volunteers to help in the response. One of the organizations available is the Medical Response Corps (MRC), a national network of volunteers dedicated to improving health and safety in the community. Our local network is organized through the health department. Find more information, including how you can volunteer, at https://mrc.brhd.org/. This is a great volunteer opportunity for anyone, but particularly those with a medical, public health, or behavioral health background.

Please be aware that the area between 300 and 400 South, both east and west side of Main Street, will be blocked to public use from Thursday through Saturday, September 5-7. We appreciate the community working with City personnel as we work to make Peach Days a success.

Brigham City will use a variety of communication methods in an emergency. One of those is through our Everbridge notification system, which we use for both emergency and non-emergency notifications.
Common questions about Everbridge:
* Why do we have to enter our address to sign up? Sometimes we have alerts to send that are dependent on location - if there is a scheduled power outage in your area or if there is a road closure in your neighborhood. Entering your address ensures you receive those.
* How can I reduce the number of notifications I get? There are two ways. First, if you quickly respond to the text notification and verify that you've received it, you won't receive the phone call. The second way is to go into your account and change your preferences. Contact Cami Sabin at 435-734-6617 if you want to do this over the phone.
This week's challenge is to sign up for Brigham City's alerts through Everbridge. You can choose what type of notifications to receive and how to receive them (pro tip - sign up for email but then choose EITHER text or voice alerts to avoid getting a text and a phone call). Sign up at https://member.everbridge.net/2746446902198312/new.

*** UPDATE *** Power has been restored. If you are still without power in your location, please contact us at 435-734-6624.
Brigham City Public Power is aware of a power outage. A power line has come down around 800 W and 500 N. Crews are on site now. Estimated time of power to be restored is approximately 2 hours. Continue looking for updates on Facebook and the Brigham City App.
Brigham City Public Power is hiring! We have openings for an Electric Lineman (journey level) and an Electric Substation Foreman. Come be part of the team that ensures reliable power for our residents. See our benefits and a link to the applications at https://www.bcutah.gov/o/brighamcity/page/employment.
Please share this with anyone you know who would qualify for these skilled positions.
Brigham City Public Power would like to express their thanks to everyone involved with the power outages last night. The wind caused trees to hit power lines, and one was even a Mylar balloon that got stick in the lines. We also had to change out some burning hot line clamps that can cause the power to go out.
Brigham City Public Power is going to be taking the power out on the hill behind the Howard Johnson motel. We have some equipment that needs to be replaced due to the winds that caused the power outage. Our estimated time for the power to be restored will be 4 hours. If there are any updates, please check the Brigham City Facebook page and the Brigham City App.
The unlicensed solicitors are still out in force, and some are even claiming to represent Brigham City in getting fiber internet throughout the community. Brigham City DOES NOT contract solicitors to sell fiber internet, and any solicitor who claims to be contracted by the city is dishonest. Please share this with your neighbors and family members, especially those who are more vulnerable to persistent and persuasive tactics.
Solicitors must have solicitor licenses issued by Brigham City. If an unlicensed solicitor comes to your door, please contact Christina Boss at 435-734-6621 during business hours or dispatch at 435-723-5227.
