Announcements PUBLIC MEETINGS City Council & CRA Mon., 5/9/2022 Work Meeting - 5 pm Regular Meeting - 7 pm City Hall, 3330 S 1300 E Join virtually HERE NEWS WE ALL LIVE MILLCREEK. It's that time of year - people are outside in the nice weather, taking walks, mowing lawns, planting gardens, enjoying their chosen outdoor activities and cleaning up the remainders of winter debris. As you get outside, remember that what you do can impact our water quality. We all love the creeks that run through our city— after all one of ---PAGE BREAK--- See Agenda Below them is our namesake—and we all need to do our part to take care of them. There is a difference in a storm water system and a sanitary sewer system and it is important to remember that difference. The city storm water system (the drains you see along our roadways) are part of the hidden underground storm water system that takes runoff from our roads and deposits it directly, without any treatment, into our creeks. It is unfortunate that some people consider the storm drains as an easy way to get rid of some pretty nasty stuff. The city follows up on any reports of this type of illicit discharge to have it cleaned up and to stop the offender. Aside from these obvious problem people, we all need to remember that what we do, however small, also impacts our water quality. Storm drains are not a handy garbage can. Another big part of concerns the city has is storm drains that become plugged with debris, causing them to not be able to function properly and sometimes causing flooding onto adjoining properties. Property owners with storms drains near their properties that are plugged can be very helpful by clearing them out. A couple of shovel scoops of debris, properly disposed of, can avoid some costly problems down the line. The city routinely sweeps streets and watches for plugged drains but it is impossible to keep every drain clear without our residents help. We appreciate this assistance. Take a minute to watch the short video above and take this short quiz along with your family: 1. What is the difference between a sanitary sewer system and storm sewer system? 2. What is an "illicit discharge"? 3. What is the most common illicit discharge? 4. True or False: A surface pipe, from a private property, discharging into a storm drain is a likely illicit discharge? 5. Name three signs of a possible illicit discharge. All of the answers can be found in the video. We hope this short exercise will help residents understand the need to be aware of the problem and do what they can to be part of the answer. Remember - We All Live ---PAGE BREAK--- Food Trucks are Going Strong on the Common Don't worry about cooking and washing dishes on Thursdays.

Building, plumbing and green codes help guard our potable water for future generations through proper construction, conservation and safe disposal. Potable water is water safe for consumption and is filtered and treated properly to be free from contaminants and harmful bacteria meeting state and federal standards for consumption. Potable water can be contaminated in various ways including runoff, hazardous spills, and aging infrastructure. In most of Millcreek water is supplied by the Salt Lake City Department of Public Utilities and meets all standards, however as a homeowner or renter, there are things you should be doing. Be sure you have functioning backflow protection to prevent contamination while doing things like filling backyard swimming pools. Here are some important "Don'ts": Don't dump hazardous waste on the ground Don't overuse pesticides or fertilizers Never flush nondegradable products down the toilet Scoop up pet waste Here are some resources to check out: How to Identify Lead Free Certification Marks for Drinking Water System & Plumbing Products How to make your water safe to drink in an emergency Just the Facts: Legionella and Water Supply Systems ---PAGE BREAK--- Information Regarding the Baby Formula Shortage An ongoing nationwide shortage of baby formula is affecting households everywhere.
