Mayor praises cemetery staff, urges voluntary summer water conservation
Summary
Mayor Manzion commended cemetery workers for assisting a resident with missing burial records and announced a voluntary odd/even watering schedule for summer; he said Tula's wells are producing and no mandatory restrictions are in effect but encouraged conservation.
TULA, Utah — At the May 6 Tula City Council work meeting Mayor Manzion praised cemetery staff for helping a resident locate missing burial-record pages and escorting them to family gravesites, calling the employees’ assistance “above and beyond.”
The mayor also addressed water concerns and announced a voluntary summer landscape-watering schedule from the public works department: households with odd-numbered addresses should water on odd-calendar days and even-numbered addresses on even-calendar days; if a month has 31 days, residents are asked not to water on the 31st. He emphasized deep, infrequent watering and early-morning irrigation to reduce evaporation and disease, and said the city will publish the schedule and continue Water Wednesday social-media posts.
Manzion said Tula’s drinking water comes from groundwater wells that are currently in good condition and pumping: “While the outlook for Tula City's water supply is positive, it's not unlimited,” he said, urging residents to remain conservation-minded even in wet years.
The announcement is advisory only; the mayor said there are no mandatory watering restrictions in place. He urged residents with questions to contact the public works department for guidance.
