Frequently Asked Questions
The City has recently completed several neighborhood meetings. At these meeting residents were able to ask questions to City officials and to make comments. Many of these questions and comments have been applicable to residents in all areas of the City. Based on these questions, the City has started to compile a list of frequently asked questions. This page will be updated regularly as additional questions arise.
What is the status of code enforcement?

What are the City's ordinances regarding single family dwellings? Can they have rental units in them and does the City have an ordinance regarding how many people can reside in a home? Do we have a definition of a family unit'?
The City does not allow more than one family in a single family home. We do not allow additional units to be created and rented out in single family homes. The City's adopted definition of a family: "Any number of individuals, related by blood, marriage, or adoption, and domestic servants for such family, or a group of not more than five persons who are not so related, living together as a single nonprofit housekeeping unit doing their own cooking."
Is the City interested in having a neighborhood watch (neighborhood outreach) program established?
Yes. Any residents interested in neighborhood outreach should contact Brent Call, Neighborhood Outreach Coordinator at 420-6326. Further information is also available under the Police Department's Neighborhood Outreach page on the City's website. Click here.
What is being done to help keep the mosquito population down? Is the City concerned about the health hazards of mosquitoes?
The City relies upon the Utah County Mosquito Utah County Health Department, Mosquito Abatement Division to spray for mosquitoes along the Lake. City staff is in contact with them during the year and coordinates spraying activities. We are always concerned about mosquitoes and we receive notices and updates from the County on this issue. Important or critical information is always well publicized by the Health Department. Anyone may call them and discuss problems or request additional spraying by calling: 851-7637. If residents need to contact the City directly for assistance, we can also request additional spraying.

Loch Lomond is physically isolated from the rest of the City. Is there a problem with emergency response times?
The City's Public Safety Departments, both Police and Fire will respond to the Loch Lomond neighborhood. The City of Saratoga Springs also maintains a mutual aid agreement with Lehi City and they also respond to this neighborhood. This insures that the public is served as quickly as possible when they have a need for emergency responders.
What is the status of a City library?
The City is going to conduct a survey of its residents to determine the public's need and desires to have library services and other recreational type services. This should be complete by December 1, 2007. The results of this important public feedback will be analyzed and communicated to the public. City Council decisions can then be made about what future services to plan for and provide.
