National Prescription Drug TAKE BACK DAY

The Salem Police Department will be participating in the DEA National Prescription Drug Take Back Day.  We encourage citizens to bring their unwanted and unused medications to the City Office.  The Drug Take Back Day is on Saturday, April 27, 2019, from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m.  This event will be located on the South side of the City Building near the ambulance bay at 30 West 100 South.

Salem City Pressurized Irrigation System. 

The city is anticipating turning the water on for the PI system either at the end of April or the first part of May.  We have really appreciated the rain and moisture we are getting to help give our lawns the water they are needing.  The weather will also be a factor in when the system is turned on.  When a date is determined, the city will notify by Email, Text, Facebook, and on the Web Page.  If we do not have a current phone number or email, please let us know (salemcity@salemcity.org).  Also, please make sure your valves are turned off, to help prevent any flooding when the system is turned on.

The RV dump station will be closed until further notice due to construction.

The Utah County Health Department has recently opened new offices that are now open full-time in Payson. Besides the WIC program clinic, which has been in Payson for many years, we now have an immunization clinic offering school and travel vaccines and a Vital Records office for birth and death certificates open daily in the new Wasatch Mental Health Building.

To celebrate the opening of these offices and to build public awareness of these services in the south end of the county, a Resource Day will be held. It will be on Saturday, May 4th, from 9 a.m. to 12 p.m. There will be many of the non-profit organizations which provide community services in Utah County that will provide booths and games for families in our community to visit. This will be in conjunction with the "Safe Kids" day, so there will also be booths about bike safety and car seats. The address is 285 North 1250 East in Payson.
