Mona City Council moves to adopt Ordinance 2026-2 updating water, animal and gas codes
Summary
The Mona City Council advanced Ordinance 2026-2, a package of amendments that reduces the per-lot culinary water requirement to 0.45 acre-feet, clarifies pig/hog definitions and limits, and aligns gas-line depth and excavation rules with the nearby Nephi gas code, council records show.
The Mona City Council on Feb. 10 considered and moved to adopt Ordinance 2026-2, a set of revisions to multiple sections of the city code affecting water allocation, animal definitions and gas-line safety.
Alicia, a city staff member presenting the changes, told the council that the city’s required culinary water per lot is being adjusted from 0.5 acre-feet to 0.45 acre-feet. “All lots and subdivisions shall be required to provide 0.45 acre-feet of culinary water for indoor use,” Alicia said, noting the 0.05 acre-foot reduction from the previous figure.
The ordinance package also standardizes local animal rules. Alicia explained the code will distinguish between pigs and hogs by weight—“a pig is less than 120 pounds. A hog is a mature pig, which is greater than a 120 pounds.”—and sets a two-animal limit for the species.
On utility safety, Alicia said the gas-department language was updated to match Nephi’s standards: gas mainlines must be buried a minimum of 3 feet, service-line depth is 24 inches, and excavation within 24 inches of a gas line is restricted to hand tools. The revisions also state that noncompliance may lead to disconnection at manager discretion.
Council members asked procedural clarifications. An unidentified council member asked for the ordinance number to be restated; Alicia confirmed, “Oh, it’s Ordinance 2026-2.” The chair then asked for a motion to adopt, a motion and second were made, and the council proceeded to vote.
The ordinance was presented as having completed planning and zoning review and a public hearing prior to the council action, according to Alicia. She said planning and zoning recommended the edits and the council, as the final decisionmaker, was being asked to adopt them.
The city clerk and staff will finalize the ordinance numbering and text for publication. The council also flagged that the changes touch multiple operational areas — water-supply requirements, animal control, and gas construction safety — and asked staff to ensure public notices and implementation steps are coordinated with planning and utilities departments.
The council moved on to other agenda items after the vote; the transcript records the motion, a second and affirmative responses but does not list a roll-call vote with full named tallies in the public record excerpt provided.
