Roy City Storm Water

Roy City would like to thank the citizens who have assisted with storm water drainage by clearing leaves and debris from the gutters and the storm drain grates. Citizens can be a big help in the fall and winter months by clearing leaves, snow, and ice away from the grates until city crews arrive to clear them.

Please sweep up or use a blower to blow grass clippings, leaves, and fertilizers that get onto driveways, sidewalks, gutters, or streets back onto your lawn.

Please call Roy City Public Works before draining backyard pools. Chlorine levels need to be at zero before the pool can be drained.

The Roy City storm water system runs through the Meadow Creek fish pond. This water is vital to the pond and wild life and must be kept clean. Please dispose of grass clippings, pet waste, paint, fertilizers, leaves, seeds, etc. properly and help keep our city streets as well as streams and rivers clean.

What kind of contaminants might reach our rivers and streams?

• Masonry and Paving: Fresh concrete and cement-related mortars that wash into our lakes and streams are toxic to fish and the aquatic environment. Disposing of these materials to gutters and storm drains cause serious problems and are prohibited by law!
• Oil: Pour waste oil into an unbreakable container (plastic milk jug), seal, and label. Do not mix other materials with oil. Call 801-399-8381 or 800-458-0145 for disposal.

Please contact Roy City Public Works Department to report violations at 801-774-1090. If it is after hours, please call Weber County Dispatch at 801-629-8221. Our current storm water ordinance is on our website at http://www.royutah.org


Sidewalk Snow Removal

Citizens are reminded to keep the sidewalks clear of snow and ice within 12 hours from the termination of the depositing storm and to not deposit snow or other materials in the city streets. Snow deposited into the street from one residence ends up in the neighbor’s driveway approach as the plows clear the streets for safe vehicle passage. Please deposit snow in park strips where available or on grassy areas where the melting snow can safely and naturally filter through the soil.
