This year's snowpack is lower than 2011 in the lower elevations, but exceeds 2011 levels in the higher elevations. See here for the numbers and charts. The levels are beginning to pleateau and are likely are headed back down due to our recent warming trend. Never wanting to overly- optimistically prognosticate, however, the County cautions that it all depends on what the weather does in the next several weeks. Here are links to periodic updates on discharge levels of creeks in Millcreek: Parleys Creek at canyon mouth; Mill Creek at canyon mouth; Mill Creek at 460 West; Big Cottonwood Creek at 300 West. Unfortunately, the County does not have a real time link for Neff's Creek. (Note that FEMA has been working on an expanded Flood Rate Insurance map that will become effective in 2018 or 2019. You can find out more information here.) What you can do to help Residents living along a creek bed can help to prevent flooding by removing any log piles, branches, or other debris that might get caught in rising water and carried where it could create a blockage. If you notice debris piling up in areas of the creeks, on grates or culverts, it is important to notify County Flood Control Maintenance at 385- 468-6578 as soon as possible so that the creek can be cleared before high runoff starts. Emergency contact information is below. Millcreek will continue to work with the County to monitor runoff and keep you informed of potential flooding issues.

Rich Judson, Flood Control Maintenance Supervisor [PHONE REDACTED] [EMAIL REDACTED] Unified Fire Authority or Public Works Dispatch City emergency [PHONE REDACTED] Utah has one of the highest suicide rates in the nation The Utah Dept. of Health reports that in 2015, "suicide was the leading cause of death for Utahns ages 10 to 17." Older people are not immune. Suicide is the 7th- leading cause of death for Utahns over the age of 10 years. See the report, raw data, and statistics here . Millcreek has not escaped these statistics. Sadly, we had a high school student this year succumb to depression and commit suicide, and another student made an attempt. As a community, we are taking these complex public health issues very seriously. The UPD has begun a program to keep track of residents with troubling mental problems, with mechanisms to help locate resource for them and their families. Skyline High will host an event on April 4th to discuss suicide prevention with parents.
