It's that time of year. Snow and leaves are both falling and things are getting a bit sloshy. It's time to get out the snow shovels but not yet time to put away the leaf rakes. Fallen leaves left on roadways clog drains, which in turn causes flooding, frozen puddles and pooling water that can back up into yards and homes. Please help out —while you are out raking and bagging those pesky leaves, take ---PAGE BREAK--- Or join virtually HERE Agenda below Historic Preservation Commission Thurs., 11/10/22, 6 pm City Hall, 3330 S 1300 E Or join virtually HERE Agenda below some time to clear them from the storm drain you may have in the front of your home. A little extra effort can go a long way to avoid problems. You can pick up free leaf bags at City Hall, 3330 S 1300. Through November 30th, you can drop off your bagged leaves at designated locations to be picked up by the Wasatch Front Waste & Recycling District. This week's snowstorm reminds us that it is time to get out the snow shovels. Millcreek provides snowplowing services through a contract with the Salt Lake County Public Works department. We appreciate the hard work the Public Works crews devote to keeping Millcreek streets clear and safe but it also takes the help of our residents to make sure these storms do not have major impacts. Keeping sidewalks clear, not pushing snow onto streets, and not parking vehicles on the street when it is snowing or there is snow on the street are important ways residents can help. City Hall receives many phone calls and emails the day after a major snow storm from residents wondering about snow removal code or calling to report an unplowed street or sidewalk. Here are answers to commonly asked questions: WHY CAN'T I PARK ON THE STREET WHEN IT'S SNOWING? Millcreek ordinance states (11.20.130 Parking Prohibited When) that no person shall park a vehicle on any city street when it is snowing or snow is on the street during the months of November, December, January, February, March, and April. If there are cars parked on the street, the plows cannot clear the roadway adequately and cars are at risk of being hit by a plow. If a driver does not feel the plow can be safely maneuvered around illegally parked cars, that street will not be cleared. WHAT ABOUT MY DRIVEWAY APPROACHES? Snowplow drivers make every effort to push snow off of roadways onto park strips or along the edge of roadways, but it is impossible to not push snow into driveway approaches. The City does not have the resources to clear the thousands of driveways throughout the City. Unfortunately, therefore, snow removal on driveway approaches is the resident’s responsibility. WHY CAN'T I SHOVEL MY SHOW INTO THE ROADWAY? It is unlawful ---PAGE BREAK--- Residents should remove all vehicles from roadways, including trailers and campers. Garbage and recycling cans should also be removed from the street as soon as possible on collection day. HOW LONG DO I HAVE TO CLEAR MY SIDEWALKS? Clearing sidewalks is the responsibility of the property owner, occupant, or business owner whose property abuts the sidewalk (Ordinance 14.32.100 Snow Removal; Required). Property owners, occupants, or business owners are required to clear snow from sidewalks within 12 hours after the snow has ceased falling. In the case of a storm happening between the hours of 5:00 PM to 6:00 AM, sidewalks should be cleared by 8:00 AM. If you need help clearing your sidewalk, consider reaching out to family, friends, neighbors, or local community groups. Please be considerate of pedestrians and keep your sidewalk clear. for any person removing snow, ice or other material from a sidewalk or driveway to place or deposit said materials on any city roadway. (Ordinance 14.20.105 Placing Snow Upon Highway Prohibited) Do not shovel or use your snowblower to push snow onto the street. It makes it more difficult to plow the street later, and the resulting icy patches pose a safety hazard for drivers and pedestrians. Also, please be aware of storm drain inlets and keep them clear of snow and debris so that melting snow doesn't back up into the streets or the neighborhood yards. WHAT IF MY STREET HASN'T BEEN PLOWED? Please allow at least 24 hours after a storm before calling to report it. The best and most effective way to report a missed street is by calling the Salt Lake County Public Works Operations 24- hour emergency phone number at [PHONE REDACTED] or by emailing pwops- [EMAIL REDACTED]. You can report any concerns you have about snow removal through the city’s Report a Concern button on the city website. More information on snow removal in Millcreek can be found on the city website under “Snow Removal FAQs.” ---PAGE BREAK--- Voting Reminders for the 2022 Election MILLCREEK.

With the introduction of the bivalent COVID booster, the CDC has simplified its definition of “Up to Date” to include people who completed their primary vaccine series and have received the most recent booster recommended for their age. For ages 5 and up, that means having received the bivalent booster; kids 4 and younger are “Up to Date” when they complete their primary series.
