Almost done!

🚧 4865 South Waterline Project – Construction Update 💧

Kearns Improvement District Operations staff have successfully completed installation of all new 8” and 12” water mains as part of the 4865 South Waterline Project! 👏

✅ Pressure testing has been completed
✅ Waterlines have been flushed
🧪 The first round of bacteriological (bac-t) testing will take place Tuesday and Wednesday this week
Once bacteria sample results are confirmed, crews will begin connecting each individual service line to the new 12” water main. Our Crews will make every effort to notify each resident of water shutdowns while we make the connections to your meters.

📅 Our crews remain on schedule and anticipate the project being completed by the first of July.

Thank you to our residents and businesses for your continued patience and support while we complete these important water system improvements for the community!

Despite today’s little storm, we are still facing the warmest, driest water season in the history of our state. When it comes to conservation, I know how easy it is to point fingers at larger users in our community (schools, parks, churches). I get frustrated with them too, and I’m committed to doing what I can as a board member to ensure their overuse issues get resolved. However, we all have a part to play in using our water wisely.
To ensure we have enough this year and going forward, PLEASE hold off on starting your outside watering for one more month and then focus on DEEP watering 2x a week rather than short frequent bursts. This is better for your plant roots and uses less water.
And if your interested in replacing your lawn, there has never been a better time to ditch your grass!

So proud to shout out the Utah Pollinator Habitat Program Group Page on FOX 13 News tonight! Representative Ashlee Matthews is the one who inspired me to apply for the grant, and winning the grant inspired me to run for office Kearns Improvement District! I’m feeling so glad that I was lucky enough to move to Kearns in 2018!
(Pardon my dandelions!)

Great idea! Get those nasty guys out and some goodies in!

I know it’s tempting with these soaring temperatures, but please please hold off. Like Mom-Tok, your grass will survive this.

Thinking about laying some w**d barrier in your flower bed? Unless it's going under a pathway or rock bed, don't waste your time and money. A thick layer of mulch will do better and feed your soil at the same time.

Just submitted my grant application to the Utah Pollinator Program! After being awarded about 90 natives in my own yard in 2025, this year, with the help of my friends, I am aiming for 280 native starts to replace the first large section of boring lawn at my local church building.
