With only a three hour drive from the hustle and bustle of Salt Lake City, Manila exists as a small, quiet community offering a completely unique experience. The valley opens wide at your feet and the pollution free evening skies are filled with stars that seem almost within reach. In winter, the valley is surrounded by snow laden mountains, providing breath taking views. A multitude of wild animals including deer, antelope, rabbit, fox, bobcat, and the occasional mountain lion, share Manila with the local population. Whatever you desire in outdoor adventure, you are bound to find it here with cedar, juniper, aspen and pine laden mountains rising to the south, and scenic desert formations rising to the north. Tucked comfortably against the hillsides, Manila rests on a valley which quietly overlooks the immense beauty of the Flaming Gorge Reservoir.
The Mayor and Council members of Manila welcome you to our town and we invite you to stay as long as you would like, hoping your visit is filled with lasting memories... Read more about our wonderful community...
MANILA OFFICE CLOSED
January 16th For Dr. Luther King Day
MANILA CURBSIDE HOUSEHOLD WASTE WILL BE TUESDAY 17th
HAPPY HOLIDAYS
This Month in Manila:
Holiday office closures: The Manila office and Landfill will be closed for the New Years Holiday on January 2nd. Both will reopen on January 3rd and curbside pick up will be accomplished in Manila that day. The same will hold true for the Dr. King Day Holiday on January 16th. Curbside pick up of household waste will be on Tuesday January 17th; the landfill will be open.
Christmas Tree pick up: If you would like Manila to pick up your discarded tree on January 10th, cut it in half and leave it next to your household trash.
Delinquent utilities account: Some of our water/sewer/trash monthly customers have chosen to ignore requests for payment. The Town cannot afford this to continue and it is not fair to the rest of us who pay our bill. Subsequently, Manila will increase the effort to collect overdue utility bills with the assistance of a collection agency and if necessary a lien against property. Loss of water service is also a possibility. If you have an outstanding bill, contact Lynette at 435-784-3143 and discuss payment.
Manila Fire Department: The department will be moving into our new building in January 2012. The process will be considerable with the volume of equipment inclusive of personnel protective gear, spare equipment, and fire apparatus. Once the move is complete and the building is ship shape, we anticipate an open house with a flag dedication by the scouts, and other public activities.
Thanks: The Council and I appreciate your patience during the past two years while Manila Water has done millions of dollars in infrastructure construction. We know you have experienced disruptions in service and it is our sincere wish that the result will be a State of the Art water system.
Firefighter of the Year: Captain Greg Scott was honored at the December 13th annual banquet as the fire fighter of year for 2011. The selection was made by his fellow firefighters and fire administration. Congratulations!
Manila Fire Department - Safety is Paramount
Monthly Fire Meeting - The meeting for January is scheduled for January 10th at 6:00 P.M. The agenda will be consumed with the move into our new station. By meeting time the station may be completed and accepted as final construction by Manila. The chore then confronted is gathering up our equipment, moving into the new building and getting the place in order. All available hands will be needed. Fire trucks will be considered as first items to move.
Training - In house training will be the focus when Manila Fire is housed in the new building. We will have the room and equipment to use training films and even invite trainers from out of the County to participate. We will also have the capabilities to maintain extensive training records.
End of Year Fire Fighters Dinner - The December 13th event was very successful. Those in attendance enjoyed an excellent sirloin steak dinner prepared by chefs Force and Ferrin. Congratulations to Captain Greg Scott for being selected “Fire Fighter of the Year for 2011”. For those who were not able to attend; you were missed.
The Year 2011 - The Manila Fire Department experienced a year of no loss of life and minimal property damage in calls for emergency response. Our personnel performed as a team at the calls we did respond to and should be proud of their abilities. Training and the concept of teamwork paid off. Thanks for a job well done. The citizens of our response area benefited by your presence.
