Local Council Considers Discounts for Business Booths at Terrace Days Festival

The Washington Terrace City Council meeting held on February 18, 2025, focused on several key issues affecting the community, including updates on secondary water systems and discussions about local business support during community events.

One of the primary topics was the ongoing implementation of water meters by the Pineview Water System. Council members discussed the challenges and progress of installing these meters, which began last spring. The installation process has caused some disruption, but it is expected to improve water management once completed. Currently, the Weber Basin Water System has already installed meters in some homes, but full implementation is necessary before charging residents based on usage. The council noted that a deadline for completing these installations is approaching, which will help ensure fairness in billing.

Another significant discussion revolved around supporting local businesses during the upcoming Terrace Days event. A council member proposed offering discounts for local business owners who wish to set up booths at the event. This idea was brought forward after conversations with a local business owner, highlighting the importance of community engagement and support for local enterprises. The council agreed to consider this proposal further, aiming to finalize details before the event.

Additionally, the council briefly addressed concerns regarding the budget for the Central Weber Sewer Improvement District. A council member highlighted the substantial costs associated with sewer services, indicating that this area of the budget requires careful consideration and planning.

Overall, the meeting underscored the council's commitment to improving local infrastructure and supporting community businesses, with plans to revisit these discussions in future sessions.
