Please stop and take a

look around your home, yard, garbage dump-

sters, etc. Somebody is taking our street signs.

They are very expensive to replace and have been creating a safety issue.

If you find them, please return them to the City

Building (no questions asked)

Message From the Mayor Welcome to fall and all things colorful! School, leaves, buses, and all the assorted weirdness of our lives these days. The routine goes on but with such changes as hardly make it recognizable.

Speaking of weirdness, have any of you wondered whether we have had an increase in the numbers of Covid 19 cases since our celebration and the county fair? I will tell you….we have not.

We are marching forward with our plans for the water tank in the canyon. The plans for the use of the canyon land are still fluid and we have not settled on any one design. Some proposed ideas are campgrounds, dog park, shooting range, hiking trails, and biking trails. We are still acquiring rights of way for the pipeline from the SV hill tank that will bring water to the new tank. After the rights of way are acquired, construction of the pipeline and tank will begin in earnest. This year or next? Yes. One thing I have learned about construction is that all plans are subject to change without notice. When it comes to a massive project like this estimates and projections of time are about as reliable as the weather. Stay tuned for further information.

Meanwhile our 600 South road is up and running! I hope you have had a chance to drive on it because it is a thing of beauty. The current speed limit is 30 mph and we have had some questions about that and some other streets and sign-age. We will keep a close eye on the whole situation but in the meantime could you remind your teens, and yourself, to abide by the speed limit and watch for signs. There is a park, with children crossing that giant street to get there, so please be alert, cautious, and careful!

Hyde Park keeps growing and changing, but we are trying hard to keep the same small town feel that we all know and love. Look out for each other and let’s enjoy living in the best town in the valley!

Three– Hills fire of July 17, 2020

Due to an agreement the City entered into with the Utah Division of Forestry, Fire & State Lands, the City will not be financially responsible for the fire in Hyde Park Canyon. The State of Utah will pick up the fee of close to $500,000.00.

The agreement calls for the City to organize canyon cleanup projects each year as well as hold regular meetings with the Fire dept., Police dept., School, Church and City leaders.

The City would like to thank those who volunteer on these boards and contribute to the safety of Hyde Park City.

A big thank you to the Fire Fighters from all over the County who responded and quickly got the fire under control.
