These are Blue Stakes markings that show the locations of underground utilities such as gas (yellow), water (blue), and green (sewers and drain lines). Such markings are made when new construction of a structure or an excavation is scheduled to take place. Many of the Blue Stakes markings made over the last few weeks in Millcreek show where Google Fiber is beginning to install their infrastructure. Prior to a Google Fiber installation, each property along the affected street will have a notice placed on the front door that explains what the construction is and provides a phone number, ([PHONE REDACTED]), to call with questions or concerns. Work is being completed by the Google Fiber contractor, SCI. Residents will see white trucks with SCI markings in their neighborhood. Installation of the fiber network includes placement of a hole on each property for a future connection once the installation is complete. The connection points will be repaired by another crew as SCI cleans up areas of construction. Here are answers to some frequently asked questions: Why is Google Fiber being installed in Millcreek? Shortly after incorporation, the City Council began receiving requests from residents for Google Fiber to come to Millcreek. Last year, after being approached by Google Fiber and careful consideration, the City Council approved Google Fiber's request to begin installation on streets throughout the City. How is the City involved in the construction? As Google Fiber determines they I am happy with my current service. Why is Google digging in my front yard? Though it may appear to be a part of your front yard, the fiber installation actually is taking place within the City right of way, which extends to approximately 10 feet from the edge of most roadways. The hole dug on each property is within the City right- of-way, and provides current and future residents the ability to sign up for Google Fiber service in the future if they choose. ---PAGE BREAK--- would like to start working in an area, they apply for a permit to excavate. After the City reviews it, the permit application is approved if it meets requirements. The City is not in charge of any construction activities although our inspectors frequently visit the areas where Google Fiber is being installed to ensure that all requirements are being met. I want Google. When are they coming to my neighborhood? For proprietary reasons, Google Fiber makes Millcreek aware of construction locations only when they submit their applications for permits. At this time, Google Fiber has been working mainly in the Canyon Rim area and along several major roadways throughout the City. The map below shows Google Fiber's project areas throughout Millcreek. The City will update the map online as it learns through the application process of Google Fiber's plans. All repairs to landscaping, sprinkler systems or landscaping features are the responsibility of Google Fiber.

Photo courtesy of Granite School District Claire Keller: Millcreek Hero! MILLCREEK. Skyline High School junior and member of the Skyline Eagles Swim team Claire Keller recently helped to save a swim coach's life. At the state's 5A Swimming Championship competition held in Heber City, Murray High School Swim Coach Adam Hoff choked on a piece of gum and collapsed in the balcony of the competition pool area. His airway was compromised and he wasn't breathing. Claire, who has had rigorous training as a lifeguard at the Holladay Lions Recreation Center, had just completed a race when she noticed the emergency. She quickly ran to assist the on-duty lifeguard, then performed a "jaw thrust" maneuver to maintain the coach's airway, and administered CPR until EMS arrived on scene. By acting quickly and knowledgeably, Clair was able to revive Mr. Hoff, and quite possibly saved his life. We are proud of Claire for her quick thinking and heroic life-saving actions. The Mayor and City Council will formally recognize her at the beginning of the ---PAGE BREAK--- March 8, 2021 regular City Council meeting. You can click here for a link to the Live Stream. Nice work, Claire! Upcoming Speed Reduction MILLCREEK. Beginning in late March, the speed limit on 3900 South will be reduced from 40 mph to 25 mph between Wasatch Boulevard and 2300 East. This speed reduction will last until the end of the project. Drivers should plan extra travel time and use caution in the area. Fines will be doubled for speeding through the construction zone. Drivers are encouraged to plan for delays on 3900 South and use an alternate route when possible to avoid construction activities.

MARCH IS FLOOD AWARENESS MONTH STATE OF UTAH. Governor Spencer Cox has declared March as Flood Awareness Month. It is important for residents to understand the risks and take action to mitigate any damages that may occur from flooding. ---PAGE BREAK--- Flooding can happen almost anywhere, even on the steep areas of Mt Olympus Cove, where a stream of water flowed down streets and into yards a couple of years ago. Ten out of the fifteen disaster declarations Utah has had have been for flooding. Utahns are seeing more extreme weather patterns, so it is important to be prepared for the repercussions of rain and wildfires, which play big roles in the risk for flooding. One of the best ways to help mitigate the impacts of flooding is to obtain flood insurance. Note that it takes 30 days for a policy to go into effect, so now is the time to act.

Sign-up for vaccination will be available starting Monday for 50-year-olds and up. Salt Lake County has moved from “high” to “moderate” transmission level, as both the 14 day case rate and percentage of positivity have gone down enough to qualify. Under this new level, the recommendation is to continue to practice physical distancing and wearing a mask unless you are by yourself or only with members of your same household. However, the mandates have changed as follows: Public gatherings. The size of gatherings has increased from 10 to 25. The six-foot physical distancing is no longer required as long as you wear a mask. If you remove your mask to eat or drink, move six feet from other parties. This doesn't apply to religious services, though faith-based organizations are encouraged to follow these rules. Restaurants and bars. Six feet distance between parties in waiting areas is still required, but tables no longer have to be six feet apart. Masks are still required unless you're actively eating or drinking, and you must remain in one place while eating or drinking. This means the establishment can continue to keep tables six feet apart and patrons won't have to wear masks the whole time. Or the tables can be moved closer together and patrons will be masking up in between bites and sips. ---PAGE BREAK--- STAY SAFE OUT THERE. GET YOUR VACCINE WHEN YOU CAN.
