FIREWORKS INFORMATION & RESTRICTIONS
As Riverton’s fire official, Unified Fire Authority has again identified all areas east of 1300 W, all creek and canal corridors, and all properties directly adjacent to canal or creek corridors as restricted firework zones.

“We encourage our residents and anyone visiting Riverton to use extreme caution if they choose to use fireworks,” said Mayor Trent Staggs. “UFA has briefed city officials on fire danger and response readiness for the coming firework season and they feel confident with these restrictions and their ability to respond to needs in our community. Restricted areas will be strictly enforced due to the ongoing drought. We invite all residents to come and watch the city’s Town Days firework show on Saturday, July 3.”

RIVERTON MAYOR URGES WATER CONSERVATION
Riverton Mayor Trent Staggs is urging residents to do their part to conserve water this summer. This comes as 100% of counties in Utah are experiencing drought, according to the U.S. Drought Monitor, and as Utah Governor Spencer Cox has issued a declaration of emergency in Utah due to drought conditions.

“With our entire state experiencing a drought this year, I am encouraging Riverton residents to do what they can to conserve water,” said Staggs. “I believe we all need to be more water conscious and work to conserve both in the household and in our irrigation practices. Changing our habits to make conservation part of our everyday lives will help us ensure we always have enough of this vital resource.”
