Streetlight OutagesRocky Mtn Power sometimes needs your

help to let them know if streetlights are out in your neighborhood. You can go to their website: www.rockymountainpower.net/ed/streetlights to complete an online form or you can call toll free anytime at 1-888-221-7070 to report an outage.

Summer is finally here. Many have used their air con-ditioning/swamp cooler, prepared lawn and garden, and done some spring cleaning. But, have you updated your 72/96-hour emergency kit/car kit for summer? It is important to review kits and update them for summer with water, sunscreen, bug spray, clothes, and anything else. Also review everything in the kit to make sure it is still usable. Check expiration dates and that they still do what they need to. Are the band aids too old and brittle to use? Make sure both emergency kits and car kit are ready for summer emergencies.

Asphalt Overlays Planned• 2300 N, from 640 W to 800 W• 1890 N, East of 600 W• 1810 N, East of 600 W• 1500 N, from 600 W to 640 W• 1450 N, West of 800 W• Millbridge Ln. and Fairwind Cir.

Legal Fireworks may only be dis-charged beginning on July 1 through July 7, and July 21 through July 27 be-tween the hours of 11 a.m. and 11 p.m. except on July 4, and July 24, when the evening hour is extended to midnight. Please be courteous to your neighbors by obeying these time restrictions.

A type of aerial firework is now legal. Aerial devices known as “multiple tube”, repeater”, or “cake” fireworks

often look like miniature professional displays and can travel high into the air, as much as 150 feet. Please be mindful of your neighbors property and where your fi reworks will land.

Still not allowed are FIRECRACK-ERS, M-80, CHERRY BOMBS, BOT-TLE ROCKETS, ROMAN CANDLES, SINGLE OR RELOADABLE MOR-TARS, and GROUND SALUTES.

You must be at least 16 years old to handle or light fireworks.

Many children are burned each year by sparklers. The tip of a sparkler burns at a temperature of more than 1,200 degrees Fahrenheit which is hot enough to cause 3rd degree burns. Please be cau-tious and careful with your children so they aren’t injured.

If someone comes to your door selling products or services, they need to have a West Bountiful City Solici-tors photo ID displayed, or produce it when requested by an occupant of the home. If they are rude or disorderly, or if at any time you feel threatened, please ask them to leave and call the West Bountiful Police Department IMMEDIATELY. If you do not want solicitors, place a "No Solicitation" sign at your front door.

Never allow a stranger into your home. If someone approaches your door and informs you that they are with a certain company, request to see their company picture ID card and city-issued solicitor's registra-tion badge. Teach your children these safety tips.

Call the West Bountiful Police Department (801-298-6000) if you ob-serve suspicious persons or activities.
