After the latest series of storms, the snow depth in American Fork Canyon is inches 107 along the Timpanogos Divide, which is the summit on the loop road.

Takes Over Cereal Mill, Hardware Since the purchase of the old cereal mill on 300 North between 400 and 500 West, the city's water and sewer department will have a new home. The purchase of this property was completed last November and was prompted by the need for more room for this department, and a place to store city equipment, The present city shop location was getting too small. With the exception of Hubbard's machine shop, the city now owns all of the property in this area from the rodeo grounds north to the present city shop. The water and sewer department will be housed in the building built by Ray Stewart for a hardware store when he owned the old mill.' . An addition on the present city shops was completed last year to house the city inspectors who moved into their new office last May. This move was necessary because of the cramped quarters at city hall. City Inspector Don Pinkham also indicated it was more advantageous to have all department heads and the city inspectors more closely located. He said this was also of advantage for the city superintendent, who is the supervisor over all departments and the city inspectors.
