NEW! Garden Tours of Cedar Hills

S ee what's blooming in Cedar Hills! New this year, the Garden Tours of Cedar Hills will give attendees an opportunity to stroll through some of the most interest-ing and beautiful private gardens in the city. Discover new gardening techniques,

while daydreaming of ways to incorporate new designs and strategies into your own yard. Seeing what other homeowners have done will inspire reluctant or inexperienced gardeners to learn new skills and try new methods. The individual homeowners will be on hand at the tours to answer questions and offer encourage-ment to attendees through a com-mon interest in gardening. The city’s Beautification Com-mittee invites garden lovers to ex-plore the beautifully landscaped yards on Friday, June 29, from 6:00 p.m. to 9:00 p.m. and Satur-day, June 30, from 10:00 a.m. to 1:00 p.m. The committee wishes to thank those who have taken the time and effort to open their gardens for this tour. The garden tour locations are available at cedarhills.org/tours.

Upcoming Events

Landscape Watering Restrictions Continue The city continues with outdoor watering conservation measures for all residential water users. Residents with odd-ending house numbers 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 Sun-days for everyone. Restrictions are enforced with a warn-ing for the first violation, a $50 fine for the second viola-tion, and a $200 fine for the third and subsequent viola-tions. The policy is in effect from April 15 to October 15. Commercial, church, park, and golf properties may be on different schedules, including daytime watering, to offset water demand. As we begin another watering season, we encourage everyone to implement water conservation practices. Visit conservewater.utah.gov for info about water-wise plants and other methods of conserving water. Water is not a re-newable resource, so we need to use it wisely!

STORM DRAIN TIP OF THE MONTH We Can Make a Difference! Storm drains lead to rivers, lakes, and streams. When con-taminants enter storm drains, they pollute our water re-sources. Ground water runoff can pick up contaminants, including sediment, oil, gas, fertilizer, pet waste, grass clippings, car wash water, etc. By making some simple changes, you can help prevent polluted runoff: Fix auto leaks promptly Properly dispose of used motor oil Don’t top off when you fill up Put trash in its place Never dump anything down a storm drain!

Parking for Boats and Trailers A friendly reminder not to use public streets for long-term parking of cars, trucks, trailers (for work or play), RV’s, boats, campers, basketball standards, etc. According to city ordinances, such items cannot remain on the street for more than 48 hours. Keep all of the above-mentioned items on hard surfaces on your property.

Installing a Fence, Shed, or Retaining Wall? Prior to installation, please visit the city’s website or call the city office for important information. The website pro-vides a download and instructions for submitting the re-quired installation permit. Call Blue Stakes before you dig; it’s the law! Dial 811 to reach Blue Stakes.

Street Projects During the summer months various street projects are scheduled throughout the city. Please be patient and cour-teous as the construction is in progress. These city projects are in addition to the current, ongoing Canyon Road as-phalt replacement project.

Door-to-Door Solicitors Help keep our neighborhoods safe. Ask solicitors to show a city-issued photo badge or instruct them to obtain a li-cense from the city. Report violations or nuisances to po-lice dispatch 24/7 at 801-794-3970.

Mayor’s Message Family Festival 2018 has finally ar-rived! The Family Festival Commit-tee has been hard at work for several months to plan a variety of activities for the entire

week, including several new events, such as the Teen Swim Party, the Amazing Race, U-Jam, YCC Park in the Dark, Pickleball Tournament, and the Outdoor Adventure Zone. This is my favorite week in Cedar Hills, as I love seeing friends, family, and neigh-bors gather together at the various events. Cedar Hills is a wonderful community, and Family Festival is one of the things that contributes to that hometown feel we love about living here. I want to thank everyone who serves on the Family Festival committee. The week consists of months of be-

hind-the-scenes planning by volunteers and city staff. Through their hard work and dedication, Family Festival has grown and offers more activities every year, in order to have something for everyone in our community to enjoy.

I also want to thank the many volunteers who serve during the week to make sure every event runs smoothly. We can't do this without

volunteers, and we appreciate their willingness to serve. Family Festival runs June 4 through 9. Find the sched-ule of events at cedarhills.org/festival. I hope you and your family enjoy the many events planned for the week and I look forward to seeing you as we kick off summer in Cedar Hills!
