Mona staff present code updates including reduced culinary-water requirement and new gas-line safety specs
Summary
City staff presented revisions to Mona municipal code (Ordinance 2026-2), including a change in the required culinary water per lot from 0.50 to 0.45 acre-feet, definition and limits for pigs/hogs, and minimum gas-main and service-line burial depths; planning and zoning held a public hearing and forwarded the changes to council for final action.
Alicia, the staff presenter, explained proposed updates to Mona City code under Ordinance 2026-2 at the City Council meeting on Feb. 10, 2026. Planning and zoning completed a public hearing and recommended the changes to council.
The package includes multiple changes to subdivision and utility requirements. Alicia said the required culinary water allocation for lots would change from 0.50 to 0.45 acre-feet for indoor use, a reduction of 0.05 acre-feet per lot. She said that requirement will now apply to commercial lots in addition to residential ones. Alicia also explained new language clarifying definitions for swine: a pig is defined as under 120 pounds and a hog as over 120 pounds, and the code will limit properties to two animals of those types.
Alicia also described gas-safety edits. She said a local gas operator (Nephi) advised that gas mainlines be buried at a minimum depth of 3 feet and service lines at 24 inches; the draft imposes those minimums and adds a noncompliance enforcement provision that can include disconnection at manager discretion. The draft also bans excavating within 24 inches of a gas line except with hand tools, she said.
Council asked procedural questions and a member requested a clarification of the ordinance number; Alicia confirmed the measure is labelled Ordinance 2026-2. The transcript records a motion and a second after the presentation. The meeting record as provided does not include a roll-call tally or an explicit readout of the vote on this ordinance in the transcript copy supplied.
If council adopts the ordinance as drafted, property developers and builders will face the revised water-supply and gas-installation requirements described by staff. Planning and zoning was identified in the discussion as the primary body for interpreting setbacks, turnaround requirements for fire apparatus and other site-development questions referenced by commenters during public comment.
The council continued with other agenda items; staff noted the ordinance had already had a planning-and-zoning public hearing before coming to council.
