Welcome To Our City

"We can't move forward until YOU mail it back"

Over the past year, we demonstrated our partnership and commitment as most of our residents (73% in the state of Utah) mailed back their 2010 Census form. Today, we thank everyone that participated and encourage ongoing support in the Non-Response Follow-up stage where countless Census Takers visit homes that may not have received the form or simply had not returned it.

In the quest for a complete and accurate count of everyone residing in Utah, a local resident - Census Taker - employed by the Census Bureau may visit your home to follow-up on the survey or gathered data from the neighborhood. Please cooperate with them! Effective June 1, if you still have your form or have yet to have a Census Taker visit, you can call the Provo Local Census Office at (801) 616-5010 to arrange for a visit from a representative of the US Census Bureau.

Again, Thank you for helping our community with the 2010 Census!

What does it mean? The 2010 Census themes and tag lines “It’s In Our Hands” and “We Can’t Move Forward Until You Mail It Back” reflect a public attitude that “It’s our census, it’s up to me and my community to make sure the we have a complete and accurate count.” The 2010 Census will help determine how more than $400 billion in federal funds is dispersed each year for things like hospitals, job training centers, schools, senior centers, emergency services, bridges, and public works projects. The data collected by the census also help determine the number of seats each state has in the U.S. House of Representatives. The census provides valuable information that can be used in diverse local applications like grant writing, eligibility for housing, and social actions.

Position of Pleasant Grove City Regarding Odor from TSSD

The Timpanogos Special Service District (TSSD) is a cooperative entity that disposes of the sewage from a dozen north Utah County cities. It is located in the southern extreme of American Fork, just west of I-15 Exit 275. Its position places it very close to Pleasant Grove. It operates under the direction of a 13-member board, which in turn answers to the 3-member Utah County Commission. TSSD is efficiently and professionally run. But unlike other sewage disposal facilities in populated areas of Utah, TSSD has decided to run a composting operation onsite. This composting operation is the source of foul, offensive, and unhealthy odors that spill over into neighboring Pleasant Grove. To understand the smell that assaults Pleasant Grove residents and visitors, imagine that your backyard neighbor takes all the human waste generated by him and his family and puts it in a big tub next to your fence. Then he mixes in grass clippings and lets it ferment in the sun, stirring it up every once in a while. If you can imagine the stomach-turning smell that would wash over into your yard, you can get a sense for what Pleasant Grove citizens have been experiencing for years. Read More...
