The Town of Big Water Code Ordinances (https://bigwater.municipalcodeonline.com/) were put into place, in part, to promote the health, safety and well-being of the citizens of Big Water, and to protect the community as a whole from deterioration and decline by establishing minimum standards for the use and maintenance of all buildings and property. Compliance with the Town code is required by all citizens of Big Water.
Our goal is to resolve code violations quickly and efficiently through fair and reasonable collaboration with our citizens. The Municode is here to provide education and resources to help correct existing violations and prevent future issues. Together we can make our city a better place to live.

How Codes Are Enforced
The Town of Big Water responds to complaints submitted by members of the public, Town Council, or as discovered during the course of routine patrols, and works with citizens to resolve violation issues. We partner as necessary with the Police Department, and/or outside entities such as the Utah Department of Health Services.
When a concern is reported, the Zoning Administrator will review and investigate the case to confirm whether a violation exists. Unless the issue poses an imminent threat to the health, safety, or welfare of any citizen that requires immediate action, the town of Big Water will then notify the property owner or other responsible party of the violation, propose the solution, and work with the party to resolve the problem.
While it would be ideal if violations were corrected as soon as notification was given, we understand that each situation has different circumstances and strive to work together with our citizens to resolve issues within a fair and reasonable timeframe.
