SnowGlobe charges and fire code change voted on at SLT City Council meeting
Submitted by paula on Thu, 03/17/2016 - 7:51pm

The council voted to remove restrictions on the fire sprinkler code (Chapter 5.20) to be more in line with Lake Valley Fire District. The City's stricter code confused contractors who build houses in the city, and in the county, and it was also found to be cost prohibitive for homeowners wishing to remodel.
