The limit on the number of people at private social gatherings has been removed, but it is still recommended as a best practice to gather only with those of the same household. If gathering in “high risk” areas, gatherings recommended being limited to 10 people.
At larger public gatherings like theaters, sporting events, six feet distancing between household groups is required.
Beginning Nov. 30, participants in high school extracurriculars will be required to be tested every other week.
Participants in club sports such as dance, gymnastics, gyms, etc. must be checked for symptoms prior to participating in person.
Workplace guidelines change – quarantined employees may return to work if tested on day 7 of quarantine or later and receive a negative test result.
A study by U of U shows statewide mask mandates have been proven to decrease cases, and are beneficial to the economy due to increased consumer mobility resulting in increased spending. A statewide mask order is still in effect for Utah.

The Eagle’s View – November/December 2020

Eagle Mountain City is again offering the Bag the Leaf program for its residents this fall.

The City will provide free leaf collection bags from October 20 through December 7, while supplies last. Residents may pick up bags at the City Hall Utility Billing office from 7:30 a.m. to 5:30 p.m. Monday – Friday. Residents are also free to use their own large plastic garbage bags.

In addition to removing leaves from private property, residents are encouraged to clear leaves and other debris from the tops of storm drains adjacent to their property during the fall leaf collection period to help prevent localized flooding conditions during the fall and winter months.

Curbside pickup will be performed on weekdays through December 8 by the storm drain crews as they drive through the neighborhoods checking for leaf bags. Bags will be picked up as soon as possible.

Bags shall not exceed 40 pounds and must contain leaves only. Heavier bags will not be picked up. In addition to the weight restrictions, the City will not collect bags that contain household waste, green waste, branches, limbs, rocks, animal waste, dirt, sod or other restricted bulky waste. If a bag contains any unacceptable materials, crews will place a notice on it and leave it for the resident to remove.

Bags should be placed curbside. They should not be placed in the street, gutter, ditches or any area where drainage takes place.

If you have any questions, please contact Larry Diamond at ldiamond@emcity.org.

If you observe any illegal dumping in storm drains or any materials in storm drains that may cause a blockage and potential flooding or a hazardous material situation, please contact the hotline at 801-789-5959, option 5.
