Cemetery Etiquette
With Memorial Day right around the corner, the American Fork City Cemetery Crew asks for your assistance with a few items in order to make your visit and others a wonderful experience. Please help make the cemetery a great place by adhering to the following:
- Please do not bring glass or wire containers to the cemetery. Wire plant stakes are absolutely forbidden on the cemetery grounds. Wires or glass create a hazardous condition for cemetery employees, as well as visitors to the cemetery because they can easily be caught by mowers or trimmers and thrown hundreds of feet at great speeds.
- Do not remove decorations that are not yours. This is stealing, and if caught you, will be prosecuted.
- Pets are welcome in the cemetery; however, they must be on a leash and you must clean up after them.
- Removal of decorations will begin on Monday, June 4 ,2012 at 7:00 a.m. Families wishing to retrieve their memorial decorations placed during the Memorial Day Holiday should do so prior to June 4.
The American Fork City Cemetery Crew appreciates your help in keeping the American Fork City Cemetery a wonderful place and also wishes you a beautiful Memorial Day!
Water Rate Study
Bowen, Collins and Associates recently presented a Culinary Water and Pressurized Irrigation Rate Study to the City. Click here to review the water rate study. American Fork City's combined pressurized irrigation and culinary water rates are about average as compared to other cities throughout Utah County. Culinary and pressurized irrigation rates have not beeen adjusted since 2008. The City has been exploring increasing water rates, especially pressurized irrigation water rates in order to continue to meet bond obligations, to maintain infrastructure, and provide for future upgrades and improvements. The City is looking at the possiblity of annual rate increases over a five year period.
