Fireworks Restrictions Enacted With the fireworks season upon us, the city declares its support for the efforts of the Lone Peak Fire Department to limit fire risk in our community. The city council recently adopted an ordinance, which outlines the fol-lowing restrictions:

Fireworks: All aerial and non-stationary fireworks, i.e. ground flower types, are pro-hibited inside and within 200 feet of the highlighted areas of the accompanying map and within 200 feet of any undeveloped lot. View the map at cedarhills.org/fires2018. Additionally, all fireworks and aerials are prohibited in city parks, the golf course, and all other city-owned properties.

Open Fires: All open fires east of Can-yon Road within city limits are prohibited, unless a screen is used.

Please use caution and good judgement when using fireworks or building open fires. Questions? Please contact the city office.

Landscape Watering Restrictions Continue The city continues conservation measures for all residen-tial water users. Residents with odd-ending house num-bers will water Mondays, Wednesdays, and Fridays. Residents with even-ending house numbers will water Tuesdays, Thursdays, and Saturdays. Spot watering with a hose is allowed on Sundays for everyone. Re-strictions are enforced with a warning for the first violation, a $50 fine for the second violation, and a $200 fine for the third and subsequent violations. The pol-icy is in effect until October 15. Commercial, church, park, and golf properties may be on different schedules, including daytime watering, to offset water demand.

Reminders from Public Works 1) Access to Utilities: It is prohibited to bury the access lids to any utility, including water meters, irrigation con-nections, power boxes, etc. with landscape materials. 2) Public Interference with Water or Sewer System: “It is unlawful for any person to destroy, deface, injure, or interfere with the operation of any part or appurtenance of the water or sewer system (Ord. 3-3- 88A, 3-3-1988).

STORM DRAIN TIP OF THE MONTH Pool/Spa Maintenance—What can you do? Never discharge pool or spa water to a street or storm

drain. When emptying a pool or spa, let chlorine dissipate for

a few days, and then recycle/reuse it by draining it grad-ually onto a landscaped area.

Do not use copper-based algaecides, unless absolutely necessary. Control algae with chlorine or other alter-natives. Copper is an especially strong herbicide and doesn’t quickly degrade to less toxic forms.

Water Pressure Low? Maybe It’s Your Filter! Sprinkler performance may be adversely affected by a clogged or partially clogged filter in your irrigation sys-tem. As we approach the hottest period of the season, there is a greater chance for moss and debris to build up on your individual filter, greatly reducing the water pres-sure. The city has provided an instructional PowerPoint presentation to assist you in finding the main valve and filter. Visit cedarhills.org/filter for more information.

Mayor’s Message The recycling industry is struggling in the United States. According to a recent bulletin provided by Waste Management, until this year almost 30% of all recyclables from around

the world were shipped to China, including 50% of the world’s recyclable mixed paper and plastics. China has implemented new aggres-sive environmental goals, which in-clude establishing their own recycling programs, and, on January 1, banned all mixed paper and mixed plastic im-ports. Additionally, on March 1, China began enforcing a new 0.5% contami-nation limit on imported recyclables; then, on May 3, China announced it had suspended in-spections for all recyclables from the U.S., and because all loads must be inspected and certified, this means that no recyclables will ship to China from the U.S. for at least a month. For more information on the industry issues and the impact it is having on the recycling industry, please visit RecycleOftenRecycleRight.com. Due to these issues and the cost of cleaning up contam-inated items that have been placed in recycling bins, Waste Management has increased rates for recycling tot-ers. The rate for the first toter at each household will in-crease from $4.79/month to $6.90/month, and the rate for additional toters at a household will increase from $2.24/month to $5.00/month.

While customers have no control over China’s new policies, we can help by reducing the number of contaminat-ed items being placed in recycling tot-ers. For more information on the most common contaminants found in recy-cling containers, please visit the web-site referenced earlier or my blog at:

jenneyrees.com. Waste Management has created a num-ber of educational materials on how to best use the recy-cling program, and we will be sharing those with residents over the next sev-eral weeks, but we wanted residents to be aware of the associated rate increas-

es that will be coming in July. One other important item: We have implemented per-manent fireworks restrictions, which are included on the front page of this newsletter and available on the city’s website. We had a mild winter, so we are experiencing dry conditions, which have already led to some large fires in the state. In order to reduce the risk of a house fire or harm to individuals, we ask residents to check the map and to only light fireworks in the approved areas. Addi-tionally, the State Legislature shortened the timeframe for fireworks to July 2-5 and July 22-25. I am grateful for this wonderful country and hope you have a safe and enjoyable Fourth of July!

Please take every precaution to en-sure that garage doors are closed and locked when the garage is not in use. Likewise, take care to lock any oth-er entrances to your garage.
