School House Springs Tour

CITY COUNCIL TOURS THE SCHOOL HOUSE SPRINGS

The City Council and members of Lehi City Administration recently participated in a tour of the School House Springs area hosted by Water Superintendent, Lee Barnes. In addition to spectacular fall scenery, the tour provided an opportunity for them to see and evaluate an important source of drinking water for Lehi. The spring area contains 280 acres and is located north of Alpine CIty adjacent to the Uintah National Forest. The spring area was jointly held with Alpine City until 2003, when Lehi acquired total ownership of the property to maintain and preserve our source protection for the water shed area. Another reason for the visit was to consider expansion and further development of this valuable resource.

72 Hour Kits and Emergency Water Storage

WATER STORAGE

72 HOUR PREPAREDNESS KIT:

Recent disasters have impressed upon us the importance of proper preparation for unexpected emergencies. Even in the best of circumstances you can anticipate that it will take rescue personnel at least 3 days to reach your family. Although you might be uncomfortable, you can survive without food for 3 days. But water is essential and having an ample supply of clean water is a top priority in an emergency. A normally active person needs to drink at least 2 quarts of water every day, and children, nursing mothers and ill people need even more. In addition, you will also need water for food preparation and hygiene. We recommend that you store a minimum of 3 gallons of water per person per day for at least 3-5 days.

WATER STORAGE TIPS:

Lehi City water is chlorinated and requires no further treatment when stored in clean, food-grade containers.
Sanitize all containers before you use them in a solution of 1 teaspoon of household chlorine bleach to one quart of water.
Don't use plastic milk jugs or juice containers because they tend to crack and leak more easily.
Store water in sturdy plastic bottles with tight fitting lids. Rinsed chlorine bottles work well also.
Do not store water in direct sunlight. Store at a fairly constant, cool temperature.
Have bleach available for purifying water sources other than stored water. Use 8 drops of bleach per gallon of water.
To disinfect water boil vigorously for 2-10 minutes.
You can also treat water with chlorine tablets, iodine tablets, or unscented household chlorine bleach. To use chlorine bleach, add 1/8 teaspoon of bleach per gallon of water if the water is clear. For cloudy water, add 1/4 teaspoon of bleach per gallon. Mix the solution thoroughly and let it stand for about 30 minutes before using it. Treating water with chlorine tablets, iodine tablets or liquid bleach will not kill many parasites and organisms as effectively as boiling will.
Stored water should be replaced annually.
The taste of stored water can be improved by pouring it back and forth between two containers before you use it.
Do not drink bottled water if the seal has been broken until it is treated.
Drink only bottled, boiled or treated water until your supply is tested and found safe.
Know the location of your incoming water valve. You may need to shut it off to stop contaminated water from entering your home.
To use the water in your pipes, let air into the plumbing by turning on the faucet in your house at the highest level. A small amount of water will trickle out. Then obtain water from the lowest faucet in the house.
To use the water in your hot water tank, be sure the electricity or gas is off, and open the drain at the bottom of the tank. Start the water flowing by turning off the water intake valve and turning on a hot water faucet. Do not turn on the gas or electricity when the tank is empty.

AVOID WINTER FREEZE UPS

To avoid unexpected and expensive repairs this winter The Lehi City Water Department has some simple tips.

Insulate plumbing in unheated areas such as exterior walls like those found in the basement, crawl space, garage, etc.
Keep your thermostat at a minimum temperature of 55 degrees.
Disconnect all outside hoses and drain in-ground sprinkler systems.
Turn off and insulate outside hose faucets.
Leave a faucet running slightly (a continuous stream about half the diameter of a pencil) during sub freezing temperatures.
If your pipes burst, shut off the water immediately.

Please call Lehi City Water at 768-7102 ext. 3 with any questions or problems. After hours call the emergency number
at 836-1045.
