Spring Clean-Up Guide

Spring Guide to Property Maintenance

  • Keep vehicles, lumber, fencing, bushes, and other items from obstructing or blocking the sidewalk. Make sure your trees are trimmed seven feet above the sidewalk and 14 feet above the street to provide a safe and clear route for vehicles and passersby.
  • Front yard landscaping is required on both sides of the driveway and in the parkway. Landscaping needs to be maintained in a live, healthy condition.
  • Parking on an un-surfaced area is prohibited. Make sure all vehicles and trailers are parked on an appropriate solid surfaced area. By June 2010 all parking areas from the front corner of the house to the street will be required to be surfaced with concrete or asphalt. Gravel already in place will no longer be an acceptable parking surface.
  • Trash & debris need to be placed in an enclosed container and not allowed to accumulate or blow off of your property. Boxes, along with other outside storage are not permitted and need to be placed in an enclosed structure, such as a shed.
  • All weeds need to be cut and maintained at a height not to exceed six inches, thus reducing rodent and insect harborage, and to prevent fires. Weeds cut below six inches do not constitute landscaping.
  • All vehicles kept on the property need to be operable and licensed, or stored in an enclosed structure, such as a garage.
  • Yard, garage, basement or other similar sales are not allowed more than four times each year, and each sale cannot last more than 72 hours.
  • Graffiti must be removed within 24 hours. The City can offer limited assistance. Please call 963-3289 for more information.
  • If you have questions, please call Code Enforcement at 963-3289. Click HERE for most violated ordinances.

BULKY WASTE

Bulky Waste Removel is a way for residents to get rid of those big, bulky waste items that don’t fit in with their regular garbage pickup service. All material must be boxed, bagged, or bundled. Nothing over 5 feet long or 75 pounds is allowed. Absolutely NO hazardous materials. Bulky Waste is picked up once a month and corresponds with an area’s regular garbage pickup date. To find out when your Bulky Waste Removal day is, please visit www.wvc-ut.gov/bulkywaste . If you have questions, please call Public Works at 955-3720.

NEIGHBORHOOD DUMPSTERS

Once a year, per area, residents, volunteer groups and neighborhood associations may schedule 10 dumpsters for neighborhood cleanup projects. The dumpsters are delivered and picked up two days later. Groups must advertise the cleanup project, collect the debris and load it into the dumpsters.If you have questions, please call Public Works at 955-3720.

I understand the need to have appealing yards but what if your neighbor has horrible tastes when it comes to landscaping? Or, what if your neighbors thinks that wild flowers are really pretty but you feel that they are just a bunch of weeds. Is there a printed definition of what weeds are?
