Exciting news! Earlier this year we experienced budget cuts and had to temporarily suspend the monthly print newsletter. We appreciate all those who chose to sign up for the digital version, but many in our community expressed a preference for receiving their city news in print. With that, we are pleased to let you know that the print newsletter you know and enjoy will now be included with your monthly utility bill or you can click the link below and read it now.

The holidays are a time of celebration and reflection. As we look back at the year, we see a community strong in spirit and growth, with a bright future we’re working toward together. I invite you to join in our festive traditions, including the “Light Up the Cairns” Holiday Shop & Stroll on Dec. 4, and to consider supporting our annual winter coat and food drive to help neighbors in need.

73% of Utahns order something online once a week. That’s a lot of packages on doorsteps—potential porch pirate bait. The Sandy Police Department would like to share a few simple steps you can take to help protect your deliveries and show how the Neighborhood Watch Program can help keep your community safe.

Utah is about to get flakey, and Sandy City Public Works is ready for snow. Keeping streets safe is a team effort. Crews prioritize main roadways first, then school routes and residential streets. Residents can help by clearing snow and ice from sidewalks within 24 hours, keeping hydrants and fire lanes clear, and avoiding pushing snow back into the street. These efforts support community safety and help plows work efficiently. If you want to see real-time plow locations during a storm, use the button below.

Sandy City will have areas identified at the following locations for the collection of Christmas Trees from Dec. 26, 2025 - Jan. 14, 2026
