We had a significant storm yesterday and have a good chance of rain today and tomorrow. Box Elder Creek has been running at its highest level this season as we send as much water as we feel comfortable down the creek. It is important to keep capacity in the reservoir for future runoff, so as much as is safely possible, we will delay filling it completely until late May or early June.
Public Works managers have been in constant communication as they monitor levels and make adjustments to keep the community safe. Staff will be on standby to possibly help with the watch during the night and through the weekend.
Green cans should contain ONLY green waste beginning Monday, April 29. Contact Public Works with any questions at 435-734-6615.
