July 2011 Mayor’s Message: EnerLyte: The Key to Conservation Since the early 1900’s, citizens of Lehi have been fortunate enough to have their own power department within the City. Lehi is proud of the great history of Lehi Power, and as Mayor, I am confident that the future will be just as bright.

As new businesses and families continue to choose Lehi as their home, energy conserva-tion becomes crucial to keeping costs low for the City, and most importantly, the citizens. Energy conservation, in all its forms, will allow Lehi Power to continue to provide con-tinuous, uninterrupted service, while postponing the construction of new power plants or having to purchase expensive power on the open market to meet high demands for elec-tricity.

As a City, we have adopted a new program, EnerLyte, in hopes to greatly reduce the de-mand for electricity inside the City. As you look at your recent bills, you will see how you compare to your neighbors and to the average household in the City, in terms of energy use. You will also be shown how much money you could save by following specific tips.

I am confident that our future will brighter, when we keep the lights off!

Volunteers Needed

Meals-on-Wheels needs volunteers to deliver meals to home-bound seniors in Lehi. Volunteers use their own vehicles to deliver lunchtime meals once a week to homebound sen-iors. Along with each meal, volunteers provide a special touch of comfort and a daily safety check enabling seniors to stay in their own homes. Meals are delivered to seniors in a five mile radius and it takes approximately one hour to complete.

Message from the Lehi Fire Department In the upcoming summer months, you may notice fire depart-ment personnel flowing water from city hydrants. The fire department performs yearly inspections and testing of fire hydrants. This is a required inspection according to National Fire Protection Association. Hydrants are checked for opera-tional function, visually inspected for damage, flushed, checked for proper valve operation, cap threads lubricated and verifying that the hydrant drains properly. Water systems are constantly being impacted by improvements, deterioration, changes in usage, and even water district maintenance activi-ties which may affect zone valve settings. As a result, it is im-portant to test all fire hydrants to determine what their capa-bilities would be in an emergency. Testing can uncover a

number of mechanical problems from valves that don't operate properly, to leaks, and even pump damaging debris flowing from hydrants. Common debris found during testing range from construction waste, rocks, sand, and even an infestation of living clams. If any type of debris enters into a fire pump during fire ground operations, it could seize the function of the pump and cause catastrophic damage. You may see fire crews flushing the water system for a long amount of time to clear the system and prevent any possible damage to the fire pumps. Hydrant testing will be conducted from now until the late summer months. Water conservation is always a concern and the fire department works closely with the city water department to monitor the available water supply. Testing only occurs during the months that there is a sufficient water supply, which cur-rently is not an issue.

This is also a time to remind citizens of other city regulations concerning fire hydrants. A 3-foot clear space shall be main-tained around the circumference of fire hydrants. Posts, fences, vehicles, growth, trash, storage and other materials and things shall not be placed or kept near fire hydrants, fire department inlet connections or fire department control valves in a manner that would prevent such equipment from being immediately visible or rapidly available. Another reminder is that it is against city regulations to have any top soil or landscaping dirt near waterways or on the road. While flushing hydrants, a large amount of water will be flowing into these waterways and will wash away any obstruction that is nearby these waterways.

FIREWORKS REMINDER

The fire department has a “ZERO-TOLERANCE” fireworks ban for the following areas: Any area North of SR-92 and the Dry Creek Corridor area. If you have any questions or concerns about the fireworks ban area or general firework safety, you may call the fire department for assistance. Furthermore, please help keep Lehi clean and properly soak and discard all fire-work debris after your home display is over.

Outdoor Swimming Pool

Beginning the Spring of 2011 the Outdoor Swimming Pool will begin a phased process of renovation and upgrading of the aquatic facility.

The process will begin with the demolition of the old tube slide which has been determined to be unsafe by the Risk Manager and resurfac-

ing the leisure and baby pool. This means that we will not have a slide during the 2011 summer. However, improvements scheduled for this summer include 2 Aquaclimb climbing walls and a Myrtha liner for the pools. Other upgrades and improvements will be an-

nounced as soon as possible. Pool fees have been changed to account for the loss of the slide.
