  • Responses to City Council – February 10, 2026 | PDF

    Feb 10, 2026

    ·Scranton, PA
    Other

    On February 10, 2026, the City Council received responses to questions from a February 3 meeting, primarily addressing pave cut inspections for the Green Ridge water company project and ARPA grant allocation. The city confirmed that Pennoni conducts weekly inspections of utility work, documents findings in reports tied to specific permits, and notifies utilities of deficiencies—with violations issued if issues are not timely addressed; temporary cold patch repairs are being used due to winter weather conditions preventing hot-mix asphalt installation. The administration also provided details on ARPA grant tracking through subrecipient check-ins and quarterly reports, and listed specific allocations to organizations including NeighborWorks (business façade, home buyer, and home rehabilitation programs totaling approximately $865,881) and United Neighborhood Centers (business façade and disaster relief totaling approximately $129,930).

  • CITY CREEK: SALT LAKE CITY’S FIRST WATER SUPPLY By LeRoy W. Hooton, Jr.

    Salt Lake City, UT
    Other

    This historical document describes City Creek as Salt Lake City's original water supply since 1847, when Mormon pioneers led by Brigham Young settled the region. City Creek Canyon drains 19.2 square miles of watershed into a 14.5-mile-long stream that provided both irrigation and domestic water to early settlers who transformed the arid valley through agricultural irrigation. The document, originally authored in May 1975 by LeRoy W. Hooton Jr., Director of the Salt Lake City Department of Public Utilities, traces how City Creek's water enabled settlement survival despite initial skepticism about the valley's agricultural viability, with the creek continuing today to supply water by gravity flow to the Avenues, Ensign Downs, and downtown areas.
