Radon is a cancer causing radioactive gas that is produced by the breakdown of uranium in soil, rock and water. Radon gas is the leading cause of lung cancer in non-smokers. Radon gas is found all over the world, including in Utah. Cache Valley has some of the highest radon gas levels in the state, with Wellsville experiencing some of the highest levels in the valley.

An information meeting will be held on Wednesday, January 14th, 2015 at 7:00 pm at the Willow Valley Middle School. John Hultquist from the Utah Department of Environmental Quality will be the guest speaker and will explain what radon is, how it affects homes, and the medical issues involved with exposure to high radon levels.

Attendees will have the opportunity to purchase radon detection kits for $8 each. Those people who have personally experienced radon gas issues are invited to come and share their stories. Feel free to bring your friends and neighbors to this information meeting.

Just a reminder to those residents who may have a home occupation, it is time to renew your business license for 2015. If you have received a renewal form, please return the form to the city office ASAP.

In the past, the City has sponsored a rabies vaccination clinic for dogs. On December 17th, a public hearing was held to discuss the possible elimination of the annual dog vaccination clinic. Based on the discussion held and the input received, Wellsville City has decided to discontinue holding the dog vaccination clinic. However, you are still required to license your dog(s) with Wellsville City and will need to provide proof of a current rabies vaccination when doing so. You may obtain a rabies shot and vaccination certificate at any of the local veterinary clinics or at the Cache Humane Society.

Mail renewal dog licensing is available. You can download a printable copy of the 2015 Dog Licensing form here. Dog licenses are due by March 31, 2015.

We want to thank everyone who was involved in making our Founders’ Day Celebration a great success. It takes a lot of people to pull off an event of this size and without your help and participation we would not be able to have our annual celebration. Thank you for your support.

You can learn more about storm water management at this link.

As storm water flows over driveways, lawns and sidewalks, it picks up debris, chemicals, dirt and other pollutants. Storm water can flow into a storm sewer system or directly to a lake, river, stream, or wetland. Anything that enters a storm water system is discharged untreated into the water bodies used for swimming, fishing, and providing drinking water. Polluted runoff is the nation’s greatest threat to clean water.

By practicing healthy household habits, homeowners can keep common pollutants like pesticides, pet waste, grass clippings, and automotive fluids off the ground and out of storm water. Adopt these healthy household habits and help protect lakes, streams, rivers and wetlands. Remember to share the habits with your neighbors!

Storm drains connect to water bodies! Remember, don’t put anything in the storm drain you wouldn’t want in your drinking water.

There are a couple of new and exciting events for Founders’ Day this year. One is Wellsville’s Got Talent. Complete information is given below (click on the message for a larger view).
