Some citizens in our community do not understand where our water comes from and so I am going discuss Springville water in the next couple of Mayor’s

Messages. We all enjoy the convenience of turning on a faucet, flushing a toilet, or starting a sprinkling system and water appears but there are many aspects to making that happen. There are four aspects of water in our community—culinary water, irrigation water, waste water (sewer), and

storm water. In this message I want to talk about culinary water.In order to use the water in the area, our City has to have certain water

rights. Over the course of our history Springville has acquired many water rights that have allowed us to tap into springs in the area. Some of the springs are up left-hand-fork of Hobble Creek and then up in Bartholomew Canyon. We have many collection sites in this area and a storage tank. This tank helps feed the customers that live in the canyon. Just recently we started chlorinating this water for the canyon residents to prevent any possible contamination in the water. This water runs to a tank that is just above Rotary Park at the beginning of left-hand-fork. At this location we produce hydro power for the City. Another important spring is Bert Springs located just below the upper cross-over road from Canyon Road to Mapleton. This water is pumped up to the Hobble Creek tank located at the mouth of the canyon. Besides springs there are many wells located throughout the community. Wells are located near the swimming pool, City compound on 400 South, on 1000 South at Conover Park, by the Evergreen Cemetery and near the turn off from Canyon Road to Mapleton. These wells are constantly pumping into the pressurized system and at night into the storage tanks in the foothills.

Several years ago we had a drought in the summer and our City was short on water for watering yards. We had to go on every other day watering and not water during the heat of the day. This was not because of a shortage of water rights but because some of our springs produced less than usual. Since that time we have drilled new wells and are still working on other solutions to be prepared for a dry year. Our City has sufficient water rights for the build out of our City. We just need to develop all the sources necessary to take care of future needs.

I am grateful for those that came before me and did the necessary planning to ensure we would have adequate water for the future and that I can turn on the faucet at my house and the water pours out. Next month I will discuss our project to run secondary irrigation to part of our City.

Springville City Community Assessment Report

(Part 2 of 7)Depressive Symptoms—A Risk Factor

The ASAP Coalition has been working for the past four years to identify our community’s risk factors that lead to youth problem behaviors including substance use, delinquency, teen pregnancy, dropping out of school and violence. The Coalition has also been working to identify the protective factors we lack that shield our youth from substance abuse. This article will address one of three risk factors we have identified in Springville: Depressive Symptoms.

SHARP Survey1 results indicate that our Springville 8th graders are at the highest risk in our community for showing signs of psychological distress (11.9% vs. 11.7% statewide). Additionally, our 6th, 8th and 12th graders responded with higher thoughts of seriously considering attempting suicide than the state average (5.9% vs 5.3% statewide, 15.3% vs. 10.6% statewide, and 13.1% vs. 10.3% statewide, respectively). These numbers concern us. We want our youth to be healthy and happy.

As a result of identifying this risk factor for Springville, we are in the process of implementing programs to address depression and suicide. In the fall of 2012, we started a pilot program called Positive Action at Springville Junior High School. Positive Action works by teaching and reinforcing the intuitive philosophy that you feel good about yourself when you do positive actions. The program teaches the positive actions for the physical, intellectual, social, and emotional areas of self. Right now the curriculum is taught to a select few. However, we have applied for and received a grant that will allow us to incorporate this course into all 8th grade health classes at SJHS as well as begin a 6th grade pilot program at Westside Elementary throughout the 2013-14 school year. Additionally, our grant will allow us to train 11 combined school, district and city personnel in QPR (Question, Persuade, Refer) suicide instruction. This training will educate these individuals on how to teach others on the following: detecting suicide risk, recognizing the signs of depression and identifying a variety of problems experienced by youth including bullying, eating disorders, substance abuse, planned violence toward others and many others. The goal is to have these professionals trained as instructors in QPR by the fall of 2013 so they can use this training to educate our teachers, students and community on suicide prevention in the near future.

Our ASAP Community Board has a Depression/Suicide Risk Committee specifically assigned to directing our community attention in this area. If you are interested in serving on this committee or on our ASAP Community Board, please contact Suzy Young at 801-491-7823 or syoung@springville.org.1 SHARP Surveys have been administered to students in various schools in Springville since 2003. They are in the process of being administered again for 2013.

Volunteers Needed!Art City Substance Abuse Prevention (ASAP) is a committed group of community members who are focused on preventing substance abuse in Springville through using the Communities that Care system. This group is a collaboration of local agencies and is broken up into six work groups, in order to address all of the necessary functions of a community coalition. ASAP is currently seeking volunteers for all six work groups. The work groups are as follows: Funding, Resource Assessment, Youth Involvement, Community Outreach & Public Relations, Board Maintenance and Data Collection. Members of these work groups may also sit on the ASAP Community Board which coordinates work group activities and participates in the decision-making process for ASAP as a whole. ASAP’s vision statement is: “Springville is a community that empowers its citizens to be respectful and responsible by valuing unity, celebrating creativity, and promoting healthy lifestyles.” If you are interested in being a part of ASAP, please contact Suzy Young at 801-491-7823 or syoung@springville.org.

Springville Firefighter Retires After 36 Years of Service

After 36 years of selfless dedication and personal sacrifice, Captain Paul Wheeler has hung up his “Turn-Out Coat” for the last time.

Paul came to the department in August of ‘77, a motivated rookie firefighter; he soon earned the respect of his peers and worked his way up through the ranks. In addition to serving as a firefighter Paul served as a Driver Operator, teaching most of the department how to operate the different fire trucks. He also served as Assistant Chief, Company Officer, Safety Officer, Instructor, and as the interim Chief during the hiring process after the late Chief Whitney passed away in 2009. Paul was both a formal and informal leader in the department, and respected by all.

The last three and a half years both Paul and his wife Vicki served as EMT’s in the department.

They both decided to make their last duty shift the evening of December 31, 2012. Their last official service date was January 1, 2013.

They worked their last twelve hour shift together responding to (a record) eight (8) emergency calls. There is no doubt Paul & Vicki have touched the lives of countless citizens in Springville. They have both exemplified the term “Compassionate Service,” have made a difference in our community, and Springville Fire & Rescue will miss them both. We can’t thank them enough for the time and dedicated service they have given to the department and their community.

Many diseases, such as pertussis, measles, and chicken pox, are easily preventable through vaccination. That is why Kindergarten registration requires your child to be up to date on their immunizations, and why the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) recommends immunization for most individuals.

Historic Center Community Plan Follow-up

On January 23rd, the Planning Commission held an Open House/Information Gathering Meeting for the Historic Center Community. This Community includes the area from 400 North to 800 South and from 400 West to 400 East. Over the next several years, community plans will be done for each of these areas throughout the City.

During the meeting, residents and property owners were asked to identify their top concerns for the area. Concerns identified by those in attendance included: pressurized irrigation, installation of curb, gutter and sidewalk, clean-up of junky yards, installation of period-appropriate lighting and street signs, ability to keep chickens and bees, improvements along Hobble Creek, incentives for owner-occupied houses, bury power lines, provide alternative access from 1600 South to lessen traffic on 400 South.

At the meeting, participants were invited to sign-up to serve on an ad hoc committee to meet to discuss these and other issues relating to the area. There are currently three meetings planned which will each last approximately two hours each. They will be held in the evening. If you were not able to attend the Open House/Information Gathering Meeting but are interested in serving on the ad hoc, please take a moment right now and contact our office at 801.491.7861 or send an e-mail to faegerter@springville.org with your address, phone number and e-mail address so that we can contact you. We would like to have the ad hoc committee under way during the month of March. We look forward to your participation in this process.

WHAT IS STORM WATER RUNOFF,AND WHY SHOULD WE CARE?

Melting snow and rain are considered storm water runoff; it runs off roads, parking lots, driveways, roofs, and yards. As it flows across these surfaces, storm water picks up contaminants such as oils, salts, sediments, fertilizers, pesticides and household chemicals. Contaminated storm water flows into storm drains, ditches, and gutters, and eventually into streams, wetlands and lakes. Contaminants in storm water runoff impair water quality in streams and wetlands, and they can lead to fish kills, loss of wildlife habitat, and public health risks. Uncontrolled storm water runoff is one of the largest remaining sources of water quality impairment in the United States.

As our community grows, more land is covered with hard surfaces. This means more water reaches streams more quickly and is potentially more contaminated. Let’s work together to lessen the degree of contamination and help protect local water resources.

You can also help us ease the flooding potential by keeping storm drain inlets near your property clean of debris or by reporting them to the Public Works Department at 801-491-2780.
