Upper Elevation Snow is Melting MILLCREEK. The upper elevation snow in Mill Creek Canyon is expected to begin to melt rapidly next week. We are hopeful that all of the work that has been done in preparation for potential flooding will not be needed but think that we are as ready as possible as our streams continue to rise. ---PAGE BREAK--- We appreciate the fantastic cooperation of our residents and the hard work of our team and partners at Salt Lake County Public Works and Flood Control. This large pile of debris was cleared from a grate along Mill Creek at 20th East. This type of clog can cause flooding, and we need assistance from neighbors to let us know when they see this type of problem developing. This location had been identified as one that could cause problems and equipment was staged in the area that was able to respond quickly when the grate clogged. * * * * * The snow melt so far has been exactly what was needed to move the massive amounts of water that fell as snow in our mountains through the city's four streams without flooding issues. That does not mean we are out of the woods, please keep a close eye on streams and ditches in your neighborhoods and be proactive if you see problems developing. Let us know by calling [PHONE REDACTED] (during business hours) or [PHONE REDACTED] (evenings or weekends). * * * * * ---PAGE BREAK--- Neighbors in the Valley View District spent time clearing debris and overgrowth from the 20th East Rock Ditch. We appreciate the help of residents who proactively identify and work to clear areas of potential flooding. Building Safety Month Continues with Week 3: Let’s keep spreading the word about #BuildingSafetyMonth2023! Week 3 is all about making sure your community is prepared for fires, floods, hurricanes, tornados and more. How Codes Protect Against Disaster According to the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA), one of the ---PAGE BREAK--- most cost-effective ways to safeguard our citizens and our communities against disasters is to adopt and follow hazard-resistant building codes. When adopted and enforced, building codes can save lives, save billions of dollars and protect property for generations to come. Here are a few facts to consider: Since 1980, the average number of billion-dollar disasters has been six per year, but from 2016 to 2018, the number jumped to 15 per year. A staggering 65 percent of counties, cities and towns across the U.S. have not adopted modern building codes. Only 27 percent of hazard-prone jurisdictions in the U.S. adopted the latest two editions of hazard-resistant building codes. The I-Codes could help communities avoid $132 billion to $171 billion in cumulative losses through 2040. If all new buildings across the U.S. were built to modern editions of the I- Codes, the country would save more than $600 billion by 2060. For additional information and to check out some tips about how to prepare your community, visit the International Code Council website.
