The city also issued reminders regarding leash laws and requested that residents report any vandalism in parks to West Haven City or the Weber County Sheriff’s Department. Additionally, the West Haven Sewer District noted that continuous leaks in household pipes, faucets, or toilets can cause significant water loss, and urged residents to keep valves and faucets tight to conserve limited resources.
In a message from Mayor Rob Vanderwood, the city emphasized the importance of growing with purpose to protect the community's agricultural heritage and sense of space. The mayor expressed pride in the community's willingness to support neighbors during difficult times.
