9/14/20 UPDATE information on power outage
The City Office and many residents on the west side finally had power restored at about 12:30 am on Monday, September 14th. Almost a week without power. In this months newsletter which was probably delivered sometime last week, we put in an article about being prepared for an emergency. Pat yourselves on the back. You just survived one!!! Think about how you would handle it differently and what you wished you had. Make a plan and prepare for the next time. We appreciate your patience and are now trying to catch up with all that we were unable to do during the outage. We live in a great community and thank the community members for pitching in and helping neighbors during yet another unprecedented event of 2020. On Saturday over 120 residents in Willard and 170 in South Willard spent time helping cut up and haul debris from those who do not have the ability to do so. Thank you all!!!
covid-19 update
We still remain at yellow - Utah’s efforts to slow the spread of COVID-19, including increased mask wearing, are working. As many of our children are back in the classrooms we may seen another spike in cases. We ask residents remain diligent in the recommended protocols, including mask wearing when physical distancing is not possible. Below is a message from the Executive Director of the Bear River Health Department.
EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR’S UPDATEAugust 26, 2020
Whenever I have the opportunity to attend a basketball game at USU, I am in amazement at the tradition of involvement by the student section. The home court advantage is so significant I almost feel sorry for the opposition. (Remember, I said “almost”!) One of the most famous chants by the students at the end of the game, when it is well in hand, is “I believe that we will win!!!”, repeated many times. You can’t help but feel real strength from these young people as they come together for a common cause.
The phrase “I believe that we will win” over COVID-19 is demonstrated by our community coming together, our desire, and through a common belief. Our sense of community is our greatest strength!
For the seventh week in a row, we continue to see a steady decline in our rolling 7-day average across all three counties in our health district – Box Elder, Cache, and Rich. Because of you and your willingness to be a part of the solution, we see this decline. Now, with schools starting up, I recognize there is a possibility of an uptick in our numbers. However, there has been great effort by our youth, their parents, teachers, school administrators, and university faculty to help suppress any increase we may have. These efforts will help the education of our young people to continue.
I want to thank the teachers, parents, and school administrators for their dedication on behalf of their students. Dale Lamborn, the Superintendant for the Rich County School District said this in a recent email to his collegues: “Thanks to everyone for all you are doing – we are going to win!!! We are going to keep kids in school!!! They are going to be better off because we provided the best learning opportunity possible.”
By the way, COVID-19 is only 1 of 192 programs within the Bear River Health Department. I want to reassure you that whether it is some other communicable disease, knowing that you can drink clean water from your tap, flu shots, child and adult immunizations, etc – all of these other important public health efforts continue to go on, perhaps quietly and behind the scenes, but are still being attended to.
Finally, I truly believe this quote by Oprah Winfrey: “Doing the best at this moment puts you in the best place for the next moment.” Thanks for being a positive part of this community!

Sewer Cleaning Project Beginning 10/24/2016
The City has contracted with Val Kotter & Sons to complete required maintenance of the sewer system. They are inspecting the manholes, cleaning the lines and using a camera to locate any problems within the lines that need to be corrected. This maintenance is required for insurance purposes and critical to help avoid costly back-ups of the system. Many residents have easements across their property and have manholes located in those easements. Please make sure they are clear of debris and accessible for cleaning.
We would also like to remind residents you are responsible for the clean out located at or near the property line. Make sure it is protected if it is above ground level and make sure it is covered (covers are available at home improvement stores) to avoid debris from falling in and blocking the line, causing sewage to backup in your house. They should also be accessible in case you do have a blockage in the service line.

June 23-Sept. 15 - FIRE AND FIREWORKS RESTRICTIONS IN EFFECT
The fire danger is extremely high! The City Council voted during their meeting on June 23rd to place fire and fireworks restrictions East of Main Street (Highway 89). Below is a map of the fire restricted area and restrictions. A reminder that the danger also exists West of Main Street (Highway 89) and urge residents to use extreme caution.
Outdoor Watering
Willard residents used 31,555,600 gallons of water in the month of July. That is approximately 17,500 gallons per person. The water system experienced problems keeping up with the demand, especially during night time hours when automatic sprinkling systems were in operation. Temperatures over the last couple of days have gone down, but August can also be a warm month. Residents are urged to watch their watering habits. There is no need to water everyday and in fact it is strongly discouraged. There are many websites that have water wise tips to reduce outdoor water usage. If we all do a little it will help a lot.

A public hearing on this change was held by the Planning Commission on November 19, 2015, and the Willard City Land Use Ordinance requires a public hearing for a change in the General Plan, including the Future Land Use Map, by the City Council also. This allows residents adequate opportunity to provide input. Please contact City Planner Bryce Wheelwright if you have any questions at 435-734-9881.

February 11, 2014 - Cold Weather Prep (update)
The temperature continues to fluctuate. This often causes the frost line to go down deeper, even if the temperatures are above freezing during the day. Please leave an inside tap dripping to prevent frozen water lines. We have had a couple of reports of frozen lines in the past couple of weeks. A constant drip is all it takes. Make sure you know where your water meter is located and mark or uncover it to prevent damage with removing snow and for access in case of an emergency.
The Public Works Department personnel want to thank those who removed vehicles and trailers from the sides of the street. There is still the chance of snow storms. Please use caution when driving.Please don't shovel or plow snow from your driveway into the city streets. The piles can freeze and cause severe damage to the snow plows and create dangerous situations for motorists. Please clear around the mailboxes for postal delivery and remove your garbage containers as soon as possible after pick-up.

A message from Willard City CERT
This is also a good time to encourage everyone to check over 72 hour kits, vehicle kits, snow mobiles, mobile homes, etc., making sure they are "WINTER and COLD WEATHER" ready.
It is a good time to visit with those on your Block - share winter weather tips and helps with your Block folks. Encourage everyone with fire places and/or wood stoves to have Carbon monoxide detectors in place and to check their fire extinguishers. Refresh, replenish or replace them as needed.
You may want to encourage everyone - friends, family, block members - to have an alternative heat source for their home and family use - in case of an emergency.
