Residents press council over Rocky Mountain Power work and stormwater damage; staff point callers to utility and MSD
Summary
A resident said Rocky Mountain Power’s partial project and trenching may cross private property without documented easements and alleged stormwater alterations from neighboring development are causing erosion and tree loss at 5167 Immigration Canyon Road; council directed the resident to Rocky Mountain Power and the Municipal Service District (MSD) and offered contact guidance.
During public comment, Casey Yao (identified as owner of 5167 Immigration Canyon Road) said a partial Rocky Mountain Power project is running through his property and that he has not seen legal easement documentation or a design showing exactly where utility lines will be placed. He asked the council to request proof of an easement and details from the contractor.
Yao also alleged stormwater alterations from an above subdivision have redirected water onto his land, causing pronounced erosion and tree damage. He said county/MSD staff could not find required building permits for the upstream work and asked the city to help identify the correct agency for enforcement.
Council members and staff responded that Rocky Mountain Power and the utility contractor control easements and related rights; the city suggested contacting Rocky Mountain Power directly and directed the resident to the Municipal Service District (MSD) front desk and to specific staff (Alex/Radowski or Brianna) for stormwater permit inquiries. Staff advised residents to gather evidence and call the non‑emergency dispatch if they observe illegal activity.
Next steps: Staff advised the resident to pursue the utility and MSD channels; council offered to help by identifying the appropriate MSD contact if needed.
