Clearfield resident urges fixes to broken water pipes, requests truck weight limits after repeated road and water failures

Gloria White, a Clearfield resident living on 1000 East near Country Oaks Apartments, told the City Council during the open comment period that repeated water‑main breaks and heavy truck traffic are damaging the street and causing recurring water outages for neighbors and local businesses.

White said she was told the city was "looking for for a couple of million dollars to redo the piping on that street," and described repeated paving since she has lived there: "They paved that road 3 times since I've lived there. I've been there 16 years, and it's kinda crazy because those big trucks are just tearing it up." She asked the council to place weight‑limit signs at the ends of the street and to contact the yard that uses the road as a shortcut so the trucks will stop using the neighborhood route.

White also raised concerns about water waste tied to automatic watering systems. She said the apartment grounds contractor had left sprinklers running nightly for more than two weeks and that water ran off into the gutter. "It's been on 16 days in a row... The water is actually running off the grass, down the street, and into the gutter. We don't have water to waste, people," she said. She asked the city to engage the developer and landscape contractors at Clearfield Station to fix visible leaks and exposed hoses.

What the council said: City staff acknowledged the complaints and said the senior manager would follow up and take notes to investigate. Council members did not take a formal vote or directive on the record during the meeting; staff follow‑up was promised.

Scope and next steps: White requested installation of weight‑limit signage at the ends of 1000 East and asked staff to investigate repeated pipe failures and leaks at Clearfield Station. The transcript records the request and staff acknowledgment but no formal motion or schedule for repairs was recorded at the meeting.
