Ogden City Continues Work on 36” Water Transmission Pipeline Project in Ogden Canyon

By Shanna Francis

Ogden City is beginning work on Phase 1 of a federal-aided project to replace the 36” water main in Ogden Canyon. The existing main spans from the water treatment plant at the base of Pineview Dam to the mouth of Ogden Canyon near Valley Drive.

The Ogden water pipeline project involves a significant upgrade to the aging water infrastructure by replacing the 36” line that was built in 1935 to prevent water loss and improve water delivery. The estimated cost of the project is around $99 million and is expected to take about four to five years to complete. The new pipeline will significantly reduce water loss, potentially saving over 2 million gallons of water per day and ensuring a reliable water supply for Ogden City.

Late summer and fall of 2025, Phase 1 crews will be on the pipeline right-of-way for potholing geolocating, soil analysis, and other pipeline replacement preparation and project work. Additional phases will take place within the canyon during 2026-2027 and 2027-2028. The project is expected to be completed by spring of 2029.

All pipeline replacement work will be conducted outside the SR-39 ROW corridor. However, brief intermittent delays can be expected on SR-39 as large pipe sections—25’ to 30’ in length—are hauled to and positioned at various staging points throughout Ogden Canyon during the current Phase 1 pipeline replacement project.

Come Meet Your Candidates!

The Ogden Valley Transition Team is organizing two opportunities to meet Ogden Valley City council and mayoral candidates before the primary election on August 12. The “meet and greet” dates are:
1. Saturday, July 26 from 3:00 – 6:00 p.m. at the Ogden Valley library in Huntsville
2. Saturday, August 2 from 3:00 – 6:00 p.m. at the Ogden Valley library in Huntsville
We know not all candidates can make these dates work for their schedules, but we polled them and picked the dates that worked for the greatest number of candidates.

Each candidate will have a table for distribution of information they wish to share and each will be available to answer your questions in one-on-one or small group conversations.

We are offering to facilitate this opportunity so the community can become better acquainted with the candidates, in addition to other efforts the candidates may be organizing on their own behalf.

Candidate Forum Recordings Available
Recordings of the various Candidate Forums held July 8 and July 9 are now available online. If you were unable to attend, we highly recommend watching these recordings in an effort to help you to become a more informed voter.

They are available at ogdenvalleyinc.org/resources/. Fair Warning: The Transition Team had serious technical difficulties. Due to loss of power, the mayoral forum got cut up and the audio on all the recordings is not as good as anyone would wish. Turning on the closed captioning on your computer may help.

The Transition Team was beyond excited by the large turnout for these forums, both in-person and online. Clearly, there is a high level of engagement by this community!

Thanks to the candidates for participating, thanks to all who attended, and thanks to the League of Women Voters for their excellent organization and ex*****on of the event.
