Roads and utilities
Water fill station
Discussed
A resident asked how to get access to the town's water fill station, why there had been no public announcement, and why some people still take water from fire hydrants. Mayor Staheli said the station is in a soft launch while mechanical and technical glitches are worked out, which is why some still use the hydrant, and that registration information will go out once the glitches are fixed.
Roads and utilities
UDOT Highway 6 and Genola road intersection
Discussed
Mayor Staheli reported that UDOT has done multiple studies and, although it did not get full funding, has enough to make a difference. The State Street intersection will get a left-turn lane and a longer, widened westbound right lane, a rise in the road that blocks visibility will be removed, a passing lane is possible later, and signs and streetlights will be added. Construction is expected in 2027; peak traffic on that road is Friday and Sunday nights.
