As a community, we have seen a 20% decrease in pressurized irrigation (PI) water demand so far this year. Thank you for your individual efforts to conserve water! Your commitment is making a meaningful difference.

With high summer temperatures now forecast to subside into the 80s, we are hopeful that all users can reduce their PI water use by an additional 30% by reducing the number of waterings per week to two. As temperatures continue to cool into the 70s in mid-September, we ask that users reduce their water use again by watering only once a week through the end of the irrigation season.

These continued reductions will help extend the City’s stored reservoir supply and, most importantly, increase the likelihood that we will have a considerable amount of stored water remaining for next year. Thank you for doing your part to conserve water and helping to protect Highland City’s water supply!

With school starting back up again soon, check out these important e-bike state law updates and reminders from Lone Peak Police- Utah.

REMINDER ABOUT EBIKES AND ESCOOTERS!! With school starting soon we want to remind students and parents of the new laws surrounding ebikes and escooters. Contact your child's school for their specific policies and restrictions.

Utah lawmakers are trying to curb the e-bike injury trend with new legislation that updates the laws around e-bikes. Bicycles are considered vehicles, meaning riders must follow vehicle laws, including obeying traffic signals, signs, and road markings.

Under the new legislation:

-No one under age 8 can ride any e-bike on a public road.
-Starting May 6, all e-bike and e-scooter riders under 21 must wear CPSC helmets on roads, and e-motorcycles under 21 must use DOT-approved helmets.
-Devices that travel over 20 miles per hour without pedaling are considered e-motorcycles and require a driver's license and motorcycle endorsement.
-Those under 16 may not operate e-motorcycles or high-powered e-devices on any public road.It is illegal to operate any e-device impaired, or to alter one from its original design.
-Starting May 5, 2027, riders ages 8 to 15 must have direct supervision or a Department of Public Safety personal electric vehicle safety certificate.
-Riders ages 16 and older may ride on public roads without supervision.
