All Millcreek voters are being asked by the Granite School District to vote to approve a bond to improve our schools. As the district describes the problem: "Nearly half of all Granite schools require updates, remodels and repairs to more than 75% of their building. Nearly half of all Granite schools are more than 50 years old. Along with structural needs, security and seismic upgrades are needed for most schools in the district." The district has a 40-year plan to raise capital. The vote this year is to approve the first step a 10-year $238 million bond. You can find more information by clicking here. In addition to the bond issue, residents of Districts 2 and 4 will choose their representatives on the City Council. This is a repeat of last year's election, in which Councilmembers Dwight Marchant, District 2, and Bev Uipi, District 4, were both elected to one year terms. We are required by law to get our new city's elected officials on four-year staggered terms. Thus, the District 2 and District 4 candidates who win this November's election will be on the City Council for four years. District 2's race is a rematch between Dwight Marchant and Dwayne Vance. You can find their bios and contact information below. You can reach their respective websites by clicking on the photos above. Bev Uipi is the sole candidate for District 4.

WATER RIGHTS ISSUE ARISES IN THE PARLEYS CREEK SUBDIVISION MILLCREEK. Residents within the boundary of the Parleys Creek Subdivision recently received a letter from the Department of Natural Resources indicating that they may be an owner of a property or water right. The letter noted that there is a meeting scheduled on October 18th with the DNR to discuss the adjudication process claims to water right. This type of letter is a fairly common occurrence throughout our arid state. State law limits irrigation water rights to those who are actually using the water. (Municipal water that comes through your taps is not at issue). Periodically, the state engineer reviews who is using water, including water in the many irrigation ditches throughout Millcreek. Sometimes the courts get involved. People who don’t claim water rights don’t need to do anything. At some future date, people who do claim water rights will need to prove their claims. Those residents should definitely attend the October 18th meeting. Anyone who gets one of these letters should confirm the following: 1) are they using irrigation water; 2) do they have evidence of a water right (by a grant on their deed, possession of a certificate for water shares or other such evidence). They should also document how much irrigation water they use and when. They will have to fill out a claim form in the future and the state engineer will evaluate it and either agree or contest it in court at some point.

Hooten, Jr., former long-time director of the Metropolitan Water District of Salt Lake City, . CERT CLASSES STARTING MILLCREEK. One of the hallmarks of a well-run community is its ability to respond to major disasters. Millcreek relies heavily on the Unified Fire Authority and the Unified Police Department. But we also need a well-trained civilian emergency work force to work as an adjunct to the emergency response teams. Community Emergency Response Training (CERT) is therefore vital. CERT members can give immediate assistance to victims, and are often critical to the success of first responders. The UFA puts on CERT training courses from time to time. The next one will be taught on two Saturdays, October 21st and October 28th, from 8 AM to 5 PM, at the Eagle Mountain City Hall, 1650 Stagecoach Run, Eagle Mountain, Utah. The cost is $40, although if you have attended and paid for a class in the past, you can come freshen up your skills for free. Click here to register.

This week's UDOT newsletter is the last installment, and confirms our report last week that the project is substantially complete. The newsletter lists some pretty interesting statistics, such as total construction cost ($6.25 million), and total calendar days for project (152). Plus, there are more spectacular photos of the Mt. Olympus and Canyon Rim areas (oh, and of the construction, too). Kudos are due to UDOT Project Manager Melinda Greenwood, who kept us informed throughout those five (seemingly endless) months. Thanks, Melinda, for the regular weekly updates, the photos, and the good news this week! And thank you, UDOT, for making our roads smooth and our bridges safe.
