Deferred Maintenance

 The blockage in the Pond is the worst it has ever been this year. The water level behind the blockage has risen about 2 feet. A few neighbors are reaching out to Salt Lake County Flood Control asking them to deal with this differed maintenance before the spring runoff comes.

MCPHOA is only responsible for the maintenance of the common area between the water and our property lines.

Salt Lake County Flood Control is responsible for maintaining the waterway and keeping it free of blockage, they do a great job at the Weir and at 500 East but we usually have to call repeatedly to get the maintenance of this shallow part of the Pond.

Salt Lake County Flood Control Supervisor: Richard Judson 385-468-6578
Field Supervisor: Dale Timothy 385-468-6579

It was fun to visit with so many of our neighbors and enjoy the wonderful Holiday dinner that Carolyn prepared for us. We scheduled our 2017 Planning meeting for January 28th at Jerry's and Terrell's house at 11:00 AM.  May your New Year be happy in every way!

Mill Creek Pond Clean Up Project

Todays Mill Creek Pond Clean Up Project was at the north gate. It rarely needs to be used so after a year it was in need of help. We cleared the pathway and made several fence repairs this morning. 

Looking Good now!

Part of the wood fence by the duplex feel down and left the pond area unsecured.

Thanks to Charles, George and Kimarie for helping to stand this fence up, 

re-support it and clear out the pathway from the north gate.

The North side of the Pond is secure now.

Our next project will be in September focusing on the west side of the pond.

A letter from one of our neighbors on the Mill Creek Pond

I want to express my appreciation for the work of our Homeowners' Association.  Since our HOA started, and the entrance fence was installed:  I feel safer, the area around the pond is cleaner, and the wildlife is protected.

I have lived on Millcreek, just above the overflow pond, for 19 years.  Prior to the establishment of our HOA:

*my home was broken into

*on two different occasions the police with dogs spent over half an hour each, at midnight, on my deck looking for person/s running from the law.  Without the gate there was easy entry onto my property.  (I felt protected by the police and had no objection to their presence).

*the propane tank was stolen from my grill on my deck

*I caught a young boy attempting to steal one of my deck chairs

*I stopped two young boys who were breaking glass on the rocks along the creek

*I saw three young boys playing with duck eggs they had taken from the nest

*people would be walking along the creek three or four feet from me while I was sitting on my deck and it was quite uncomfortable

I am sending this note because I want you all to know how comfortable I now feel and how much the Association means to me.
