🚧 The Basics: Kaysville Roads

Did you know Kaysville has over 130 miles of public roads? That’s a lot of pavement to plow, patch, and protect—and the Kaysville Public Works Department is on the job 24/7 to do just that.

Whether it’s a sudden snowstorm or a hidden water leak deep beneath the asphalt, our team is ready. In fact, just in the past two months, our crews have responded to and repaired eight separate water leaks.

But it’s not all reactive work. Much of what we do is about planning ahead. Our Public Works Department continuously evaluates the condition of roads citywide, prioritizing repairs and improvements based on need and long-term strategy. From concept to concrete, a single road project can take months, and sometimes years, of behind-the-scenes planning before the first shovel hits the ground.

Here’s a look at some of the biggest projects currently underway:

________________________________________

🚦1. Mutton Hollow Signal Improvements (Main & Fairfield Intersections)

Two of Kaysville’s busiest intersections are finally getting traffic signals.

•   2017: Initial warrant studies showed the intersections were close to needing lights, but not quite there yet.
•   2019: New studies got them over the line—and we landed a $1.7M grant.
•   2020–2022: Major underground utility upgrades and design work completed.
•   2022-2025: Project coordination with residents.
•   2025:
o   Main St signal began construction in February.
o   Fairfield signal kicks off in mid-May.
o   Both projects are on track for completion by November 2025.

💰Total Cost:
•   $1.3M (Main)
•   $1.56M (Fairfield)
•   $1.2M (related utility/paving work)

🛣️2. 200 North Reconstruction

Stretching from Main Street to the Fruit Heights border, this project is all about renewing aging infrastructure, repairing the road, and putting sidewalks and curbs where they’re missing.

•   2023: Design phase kicked off.
•   2024: Secured a $3M grant.
•   2025: Phase 1 (Main to 500 E) underway. Utility replacement and paving between Main and Fairfield expected by the end of May.
•   Fall 2025: Phase 1 wraps up.
•   Phase 2 (500 E to Country Ln): starts after the completion of phase 1 and should be completed by Fall 2026.

💰Total Cost: $14.1M

🚗3. West Davis Corridor Connector Road

To support growth and improve access to the new West Davis Corridor highway, we’ve been realigning roads and building new connections.

•   2019–2024: Design, environmental work, and initial construction completed.
•   Next Phase: A new extension to Angel St & Sunset Dr and a trailhead facility near Western Dr.
•   Now: We’re working with UDOT and pursuing additional grants.
•   Best-case scenario: Construction could begin Spring 2026.

💰Funding So Far: ~$14M
💡Estimated for remaining Extension: $5.8M

🌳4. Crestwood Road Upgrades

This one’s a bit more complicated—steep terrain, narrow shoulders, and property impacts make Crestwood a challenge. But it's worth it.

•   2023: Initial design and planning began.
•   2024: Progress stalled when the original engineering team changed.
•   2025: Work resumed with a new team.
•   2026: Full plans expected.
•   Construction: Not likely before 2028.

💰Funding Secured: $1.2M (design phase)
💡Estimated Total Cost: $20M+ (remember these are estimates and that the studies involved in the planning process could cause them to change. We’ll continue to pursue grants to hopefully help offset the cost.)

Understanding Kaysville’s Secondary Water Providers

Kaysville's secondary water supply comes from the Weber Basin Water Conservancy District, which provides wholesale water to local agencies. In Kaysville, secondary water delivery is managed by three independent providers:

Benchland Water District

Davis and Weber Counties Canal Company

Haights Creek Irrigation Company

Each agency operates independently from the city and sets its own rates, watering schedules, and water use restrictions. For specific information—including watering times, restrictions, and enforcement—please visit your provider’s website.

Let’s work together to conserve water and use this valuable resource wisely!

- Track current stream flows here: Stream and Reservoir Data
- View Weber Basin reservoir levels here: Weber Basin Water Data
- Review the USDA's Water Outlook Charts

Water Responsibly!

In Utah, we are either in a drought or preparing for the next one--so we must always use water wisely. Water is our most limited natural resource, and conservation is key to ensuring a sustainable supply for future generations. Your efforts to conserve water help extend the availability of this vital resource.

Be a steward of Utah’s water--use it wisely, and share conservation practices with others!

5 Recycling Myths Debunked

We’ve seen the comments and read the emails. There are a lot of myths being spread about recycling. Wasatch Integrated Waste Management District (Wasatch), along with other waste districts, cities, and counties throughout Utah, make great efforts to ensure your materials are recycled and do not end up in a landfill. Wasatch operates a Material Recovery Facility (MRF) in Layton, Utah where we sort your recyclables and sell them to the market. Here are five recycling myths that just aren’t true.

1) Recyclables just end up in the landfill anyway

False! Recycling is a key industry to our economy, not a myth. By using proper education, collection, sorting, and baling of recyclables, we produce high-value products that are sold only to reputable brokers or secondary processors. Only the contamination which was placed in the recycling bin is appropriately disposed of in a landfill.

In 2020, recycling was declared as an essential industry by the Department of Homeland Security. In 2024, the recycling market was estimated to be valued at $65.38 billion. Recycling helps the local economy as well. Recycling one ton of material creates ten jobs compared to only one job when landfilling one ton of material.

In 2017, China stopped importing recyclables. Many recycling programs in the U.S. were dependent on sending low-quality mixed materials to China, which caused huge problems. Today, the industry produces much higher quality products, many of which are processed in the U.S. Check out how many recycling paper and cardboard mills and plastic recycling plants there are in the U.S.

2) Recycling uses more energy than it saves

False! Recycling has many environmental benefits, including saving water, energy, and conserving resources. The environmental benefits are clear:

o   Recycling aluminum cans saves 95% of the energy needed to make cans from raw materials
o   Recycling steel saves 75% of the energy needed to make steel from raw materials
o   Recycling one ton of paper saves 7,000 gallons of water compared to non-recycled paper
o   Recycling one ton of plastic saves 16 barrels of oil compared to virgin plastic

3) Most recycling loads are landfilled due to contamination

False! It’s important for residents to follow local guidelines for what is acceptable in their recycling program. However, MRFs are designed to handle contamination and have complex equipment and sorters to separate clean recyclables from any contamination. Here in Utah, recyclables come to the facility with only about 10% contamination. Thank you for your help insuring only recyclable items are placed into your recycling can. Please follow local recycling guidelines.

4) The recycling symbol (loop with chasing arrows) means it's recyclable

Not always. Unfortunately, seeing the recycling symbol on a product or packaging doesn’t always mean it is recyclable. Some materials are actually very difficult to recycle due to poor design, so there isn’t a market for them. It could be a ‘greenwashing’ scheme by a company if their product or packaging isn’t widely accepted for recycling, a practice that makes the company appear more ‘green’. All plastics have a recycling symbol with a number in the middle to identify what type of plastic it is. Not all plastics have a recycling market, so make sure to check what your local program accepts.

The most common items that are accepted at MRFs throughout the U.S. are the ‘Big Five’, which are plastic containers, paper, cardboard, aluminum, and steel.

Glass is very recyclable and accepted in a lot of curbside programs nationwide, but no MRFs in Utah have equipment to process glass. Please drop off glass separately with Momentum Recycling at their drop-off locations or at the bin located at the Davis Landfill.

5) The U.S. already recycles everything it can

False! The Recycling Partnership found that 76% of recyclables are lost to trash in homes. This is due to lack of access to recycling, primarily in multi-family homes, and lack of participation. Almost all cities in Davis and Morgan counties have a city or county recycling program for single-family homes. If you don’t have recycling access, call your city to sign up. If there isn’t a program offered, reach out to your city council to request a program.

The economic and environmental benefits of recycling are clear. Recycling leads to managing resources more efficiently and helps communities thrive. Want to learn more about recycling and reducing waste? Visit www.wasatchintegrated.gov/recycling.

Please note that traffic patterns may change as work progresses.

200 North Reconstruction and Utilities Project Update

Construction is ongoing on 200 North, from Main Street to 300 East, as crews work to install new water lines on the south side of the road. All traffic has been shifted to the north side of 200 North to accommodate this work. Main Street to Fairfield Road has been reduced to two westbound travel lanes and one eastbound travel lane. The intersection of Fairfield Road and 200 North will remain open to all traffic movements. There will be no parking on the shoulders of 200 North in the construction zone during this work.
