Cedar City Cemetery Plans System Overhaul to Improve Irrigation and Maintenance

The Kanarraville Town Board meeting on August 14, 2025, spotlighted urgent infrastructure needs, particularly concerning the town's aging cemetery irrigation system. Board members acknowledged that the current system, over 40 years old, is plagued by cracks and breaks, necessitating a comprehensive overhaul.

Discussions centered on the importance of collaborating with experienced sprinkler professionals who have successfully upgraded other city cemeteries, notably Cedar City, which boasts a more efficient system. The board emphasized the need for a design that avoids interference with headstones and allows for easier maintenance by town workers.

A critical first step identified was the replacement of the water meter, which will help assess the existing system's functionality before implementing a new one. Board members expressed a commitment to ensuring that any future upgrades are executed properly to prevent ongoing issues.

Additionally, the board addressed the delay in power installation at the cemetery, with plans to follow up with Rocky Mountain Power and the electrician to expedite the process. The meeting underscored the town's proactive approach to improving essential services and maintaining the cemetery's integrity for the community.
