Take Pride in our Community!

West Valley City urges you to take pride in our community. They offer the following suggestions:

1. Keep your lawn & parking strip watered, fertilized & free from weeds. Mow it regularly.
2. If you remove landscaping from the front yard, the remaining landscaping can not be less than 60% of the front yard. Park strips are generally landscaped but each subdivision can have their own requirements.
3. Do not park cars on the lawns.
4. Trim your bushes & shrubs to keep them looking neat.
5. Observe the speed limits. Residential zones are 25 mph.
6. Remove your garbage cans from the streets as soon after the weekly pickup as possible. Cans left on the street can be an invitation to thieves.
7. Sweep your gutters regularly & keep drain grills free from debris.
8. Keep leaves raked up & dispose of them properly.
9. Turn on your porch lights from dusk to dawn. It only costs pennies per day. This serves as a great crime prevention tool.
10. Remove sale & lost signs immediately.
11. Grocery carts belong to the stores. It is a crime to remove them from the store parking lot.
12. There should be no loud noise between 10:00pm & 7:00am. This includes music, car honking, revving of engines or parties.
