  • Weber County to 1847
    WEBER COUNTY TO 1847 1.84: 6 was indeed a "year of decision" as described by Ogden- born historian Bernard DeVoto. The Smithsonian Institution was founded by Congress and Francis Parkman, a twenty-three-year-old Harvard student, began to travel west on the Oregon Trail and write his monumental history of the westward movement. More than 2,700 travelers journeyed west on the Oregon and California trails that year. John A. Roebling revolutionized bridge engineering by using twisted wire cables to support a suspension bridge over the Monongahela River in Pennsylvania. Violence was widespread in the country and included the Mormons being driven from their settle­ ments in Illinois westward into Iowa, where they established tempo­ rary settlements at places like Mount Pisgah and Garden Grove as well as along the Missouri River at Council Bluffs. The first recorded baseball game was played at Elysian Field in Hoboken, New Jersey, between the New York Nine and the Knickerbockers. The New York Nine won 23-1. In 1846 James K. Polk was nearly halfway through his only term as president of the United States, and he was pushing for expansion 1 HISTORY OF WEBER COUNTY to both Oregon and Texas on the theme of Manifest Destiny—that it was the nation's destiny to control the continent. During that same year, the Oregon question with Great Britain was settled peacefully, with the United States acquiring all of the Oregon Territory west of the Rocky Mountains and northward from the 42nd parallel to the 49th parallel. Texas had been annexed to the United States in 1845 and controversy related to the Texas-Mexico border erupted into the Mexican War in May 1846.

  • 2019 Water Conservation Plan Goals the 2019 Water Conservation Plan Goals Build on Those Established with the 2014 Plan
    CONSIDERATION OF THE 2019 OGDEN CITY WATER CONSERVATION PLAN Set/not set a public hearing for December 15, 2020 The Utah state code requires each city or entity that provides culinary water to more than 500 residents to establish a water conservation plan. The plan must be adopted by the legislative body and is to be updated every five years. Ogden City’s water conservation plan was last updated for 2014 and the proposed plan is the five-year update as required by state law. As set forth is state code section 73-10-32, Ogden City, as a retail water provider, is required to develop and adopt a water conservation plan. The plan is to be developed by the City and adopted by the legislative body initially and then updated every five years. Ogden City’s plan was updated for 2014 and the proposed plan provides the required update after the five-year period. As outlined in state code, the plan is to include a clearly stated overall water usage reduction goal and an implementation plan for each of the water conservation measures it chooses to use. This includes a timeline for action and an evaluation process to measure progress. As part of the development and submission of the plan to the state, the plan must be presented at a public hearing and documentation of the notification process and the minutes for the meeting must be included as part of the submittal. The plan is broken into seven main sections and includes an introduction, a history of Ogden’s water system, a description of the City’s current waster system, population growth and continual water conservation, internal conservation measures, external conservation measures and water conservation goals.
