Annual Drinking Water Quality Report
Syracuse City Water Department
Please be aware City ordinances require residents to maintain their water meter boxes and secondary water valves, keeping them clear of weeds and debris. Maintaining these utilities will help crews shut down a broken sprinkler line or damaged plumbing inside the home.
Secondary Water
Notice:
Syracuse City owns and operates our own secondary water system. We are in a unique situation where we are "at the end of the line" when it comes to water delivery. Adjusting inlet streams to our holding ponds takes several hours to take effect, therefore water managers do their best to forecast the demand on the ponds and allocate the water accordingly. In order to better utilize our water we encourage our residents to use the water rather than have it pass us by. Currently there are no time of day restrictions in place. We can all help out our pressure needs by choosing a different time to water than the ever so popular 4:00 am to 8:00 am peak demand.
Syracuse City provides an irrigation water service to its residents. All homes in newer subdivisions have access to secondary water, as connection and impact fees have previously been paid on building permits.
A City owned secondary water valve is usually placed in the park-strip in close proximity to the property line. This valve is provided as a point of connection for the customer. However, each resident must provide their own valve to operate their system by. Additionally we recommend that users supply a filtering system in close proximity and downstream of their shut off valve. Tampering with any City owned utility is strictly prohibited. The secondary water lines are typically loaded the week of April 15, and winterized the week of October 15.
Blue Stakes
Remember, before you start landscaping, it is a state law to contact Blue Stakes of Utah at least two (2) full business days (48 hours) prior to any digging, to locate and mark utility lines. Requests can be made by dialing 811, Monday through Friday, 7:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m. Blue Stakes is a free service provided by local utility companies. Syracuse City is only responsible for marking City owned utility lines (Culinary and Secondary Water Mains, Sewer Mains, Land Drain Mains, Storm Drain Lines, and City owned Street Lighting). If you suspect that there are additional utilities on your property that have not been marked please contact the utility directly before excavation.
