Council approves ordinance package updating water, animal and gas code provisions
Summary
The Mona City Council approved ordinance 2026-2 updating city code: per-lot culinary water was reduced from 0.50 to 0.45 acre-feet, pig/hog definitions and limits were clarified, and gas-line depth and service requirements were standardized to match neighboring utility standards.
Mona City Council on Feb. 10 approved an ordinance package (referred to in the meeting as ordinance 2026-2) that amends multiple sections of the city code governing water supply, animal definitions and gas-line construction standards.
Alicia, who presented the ordinance to the council, said the cooked change adjusts the culinary-water requirement for lots and subdivisions from 0.50 to 0.45 acre-feet, noting: "All lots and subdivisions shall be required to provide 0.45 acre feet of culinary water for indoor use." She said the 0.05-acre-feet change is meant to align the code with updated technical guidance provided during planning and zoning review.
The package also clarified definitions and limits for swine. Alicia explained the code distinguishes between pigs and hogs by weight, with a pig defined as under 120 pounds and a hog a mature animal, and confirmed the ordinance limits the number of pigs/hogs allowed to two per parcel.
Gas-system rules were revised to align with standards used by the utility that now operates local distribution. "Nephi now runs our gas," Alicia said, and she summarized changes that set a minimum depth for gas mainlines at 3 feet and service-line depth at 24 inches. The ordinance also sets compliance steps: noncompliance may result in disconnection at manager discretion and prohibits excavation with power tools within 24 inches of a gas line.
Council members discussed the package and a motion was made, seconded and put to a vote. One council member asked for a clarification of the ordinance number during the meeting; Alicia confirmed the ordinance as "ordinance 2026-2." The transcript records the council moved forward with the measure; the meeting minutes did not record a detailed roll-call tally for the ordinance vote.
The ordinance package was presented to and previously reviewed by the city's planning and zoning commission, which held a public hearing before forwarding the changes to the council for final action. The council did not add further changes at the meeting; staff said the edits came after planning-and-zoning review and a public hearing.
Next steps: the ordinance will be reflected in the Mona City code and staff will implement the clarified permitting and enforcement provisions described by Alicia.
