KFD's Annual Fire Prevention Week
October 5-11, 2025
"Charge into Fire Safety!"This year’s Fire Prevention Week campaign, “Charge into Fire Safety: Lithium-Ion Batteries in Your Home,” focuses on educating the public about how to safely use, charge, and recycle lithium-ion batteries. These batteries power many of our everyday devices—but when mishandled, they can pose serious fire risks. Charge into Fire Safety: 3 Steps 1. Buy only listed products. When purchasing items that use lithium-ion batteries, look for a safety certification mark such as UL, ETL, or CSA to ensure they meet important safety standards. 2. Charge devices safely. Use only the cords and chargers provided by the manufacturer (or those they have approved). Charge on a hard surface, avoid overcharging, and unplug or remove the battery once fully charged. 3. Recycle responsibly. Never place lithium-ion batteries in the trash or curbside recycling—they can cause fires. Instead, recycle them at a safe battery collection site. The Household Hazardous Waste Recycling Facility at the Davis Landfill will safely dispose of batteries, or visit https://www.call2recycle.org/ to find a recycling location. |

Safely Recycling Lithium-Ion BatteriesLithium-ion batteries power many of the devices we use every day—from portable tools like drills, saws, and leaf blowers to electronics such as phones, laptops, and tablets. While they’re efficient and rechargeable, these batteries can be dangerous if not disposed of properly. If crushed or short-circuited, lithium-ion batteries can spark fires that may damage garbage trucks, recycling facilities, or even cause personal injury. For this reason, they should NEVER be placed in your garbage or curbside recycling bin. Instead, please take them to the Household Hazardous Waste Recycling Facility at the Davis Landfill, where they can be recycled safely. - Residents of Davis and Morgan counties may drop off household quantities free of charge.
- For the most up-to-date list of accepted items and quantity limits, click here.
By recycling lithium-ion batteries properly, you’re helping protect our community, our facilities, and most importantly—yourself and your loved ones.

Secondary Water Shut-OffIrrigation water will begin to be turned off the week of October 15. Thank you for your continued efforts to conserve water. The winter months are a great time to plan water-wise landscaping for next spring. Incentives and resources may be available to help you. Learn more at: weberbasin.gov/conservation/rebates. After your secondary water is shut off, please remember to close your secondary water valve. The valve is located in a purple or green rectangular box, usually near the point of connection to your service (or meter, if you have one). Watch this instructional video from Weber Basin Water Conservancy District on YouTube to learn how: How to Shut Off Your User Valve

Fall Cleanup ReminderWith fall approaching, we’d like to share some information and ask for the public’s help. As leaves begin to fall, those that land in or are blown into the roadway often end up in the gutters. This can clog storm drain inlets or flow into storm drain pipes, reducing their capacity. The City operates a street sweeper several times each week, but with nearly 260 miles of curb to cover at just 2 miles per hour, it’s not possible to keep up with demand. In addition to leaves, overgrown trees can damage sidewalks, obstruct pedestrian pathways, and block garbage, mail, and snowplow trucks. City Ordinance Requirements (KCC 9-2-10 and 9-2-11)- Vertical clearance: Trees must be trimmed to provide 14 ft of clearance at the edge of the road and 8 ft along sidewalks. - Visibility: Trees or other obstructions may not block the view of streetlights or signs. - Debris: Leaves, grass, and snow may not be blown or pushed from private property into the road. - Maintenance responsibility: The area between the edge of the road and the property line must be maintained by the adjacent property owner. We understand this requires extra effort, but keeping vegetation properly trimmed improves safety, reduces property owner liability, and helps City services (snow plows, mail, and garbage collection) operate more efficiently. If you have questions about trimming, sidewalks, or handling leaves and snow in the roadway, please contact Public Works at 801-544-8112. Thank you for helping us keep Kaysville safe and beautiful!

From Sugar Beets to the Bamberger: New Museum Highlights
|
|
|
|
|
The museum is excited to announce that restocking of our sugar beet pins is expected soon! We will once again be able to participate in the extremely popular state-wide PinQuest that took place this summer. Our Kaysville location was one of the first to sell out, but restocks are on the way. Follow us on Our Kaysville Story on Facebook for updates. While you’re at the museum, be sure to see our display on sugar beet farming in Kaysville, which now includes several new additions: - A wagon hub (possibly from a wagon used to haul sugar beets to Layton, with pulp returned to Kaysville to feed farm animals)
- A beet-topping knife
- A sugar beet replica We also have other historic discoveries on display from recent excavation and construction on 200 North. Come see them in person, including a piece of Bamberger Railroad tie and plate. The Bamberger line entered Kaysville from the south on Main Street, then angled onto 100 East near 100 South. This electric train—similar to today’s TRAX—ran from Salt Lake to Ogden, much like the original FrontRunner. Learn more at Kaysville-Fruit Heights Museum: Bamberger Railroad. |

2025–2026 Kaysville Youth CourtAt the September 4, 2025 City Council meeting, Mayor Tamara Tran officially swore in the new Youth Court judges for the upcoming year. Since its founding in 2000, Kaysville Youth Court has served as an innovative alternative to the juvenile justice system, providing young people with an opportunity to learn, grow, and take accountability while reducing the burden on Juvenile Court. This year’s swearing-in also marked a significant transition for the program. Kim Smith, who has served as Youth Court Advisor for 25 years, will be concluding her role. Ms. Smith’s leadership has been instrumental in shaping Youth Court into the successful program it is today, and we recognize her for her many years of dedicated service. Looking ahead, Youth Court will continue under new leadership. Randi Von Bose—who assisted with Youth Court last year—will now step into a larger role as an advisor. She will be joined by Natalie Clemens, one of Kaysville’s very first Youth Court judges in 2000, who now returns to the program as an advisor while her son serves as a judge. Kaysville Youth Court continues to provide meaningful opportunities for both participants and the broader community. By handling minor offenses through peer-led hearings and restorative measures such as community service, apology letters, or restitution, the program emphasizes accountability, education, and personal growth. With new leadership carrying forward Ms. Smith’s legacy, Youth Court remains a model of community collaboration and youth engagement.

Kaysville’s teams rose to the challenge, with two championship titles coming home: - 5th–6th Grade Team – fought their way back from the losing bracket and defeated Farmington twice in the final to win the championship. - 3rd Grade Team – dominated their division, going undefeated throughout the tournament.

Understanding the HAWK CrosswalkKaysville has HAWK (High-Intensity Activated crossWalk) signals located throughout the city to help improve safety for pedestrians crossing busy streets. While the signals may look different from a standard traffic light, they are easy to use once you understand how they work. For pedestrians, the HAWK functions just like any other button-activated crossing. When not in use, the signal stays dark, and traffic flows normally. For drivers, once the button is pressed, the signal follows this sequence: Flashing Yellow – Alerts drivers that someone intends to cross. Solid Yellow – Advises drivers to prepare to stop. Solid Red – Requires drivers to stop at the crosswalk. Flashing Red – Drivers must come to a complete stop, then may proceed cautiously if the crosswalk is clear. Dark – The signal remains off until activated again. For pedestrians, the walk symbol appears after the solid red phase, followed by a countdown showing how many seconds remain to cross. Once the countdown begins, the overhead lights shift to flashing red, allowing drivers to proceed only after stopping and ensuring the crosswalk is clear. The HAWK system is designed to balance safety for pedestrians with efficient traffic flow—providing clear signals for drivers while giving walkers safe, predictable crossing opportunities. Watch a short video demonstration here: HAWK Signal Video Learn more about the HAWK signal here: About HAWK Crosswalks
