Murray residents can pre-order their discounted rainbarrels starting March 15th at utahrivers.org/rainharvest. The cost is $55 each, limit 1 per household. The barrels will be ready for pick up the first week of May. Volunteers will be on hand to teach about installation and all you need to know about rainwater harvesting.

You’re on a walk in the neighborhood with your dog, and they unexpectedly bite someone walking by. Or vice versa, you get bit by a dog walking by, what do you do? First, stay calm. Call Dispatch at 801-840-4000, and an Animal Control Officer will come help you both. If you’re both in a rush, exchange information so you can get in touch with the other person. Second, remain civil. This is a very upsetting situation for both sides, the bite victim and the pet owner.

There are two reasons why bite reports must be filed. The first is rabies control. Our local public health authorities need to investigate if rabies could have been transmitted to the victim. Secondly, the health authorities track the data and trends in animal bites to people within the community.

Yes, ALL BITES that break the skin must be reported.

If you have any other questions about Animal Control issues, please email animalcontrol@slco.org.
