Capital Improvement Projects

Heber Recreation Center

Our Recreation Center was open in July 2021, but we still have some work to do! We have two capital improvement projects planned for the Recreation Center, which will be completed by March 2022.  
Thanks to two successful grants from the United Stated Department of Agriculture the Heber Public Utility District will remove and repave the parking lot at our Recreation Center, and construct a patio with shade in the backyard of the Recreation Center.

The Heber Public Utility District was awarded three USDA Grants for additional improvements to the Recreation Center.
The first is to remove and pave the parking lot for a total grant amount of $64,900.
The second is to construct a shaded patio in the backyard of the Recreation center in the amount of $55,932
And the third is to purchase and install computer equipment, cabinets and miscellaneous furniture at the Recreation Center.

We are working with our consulting engineers to prepared the request for bid and will be posting them soon.  The Heber Public Utility District anticipates that these projects will be completed by March 2022.
