Wasatch County Engineering Department

The Wasatch County Engineering Department is currently housed under the Wasatch County Public Works Department.

The purpose of compiling standard drawings and specifications is to bring uniformity of design and construction to Wasatch County. The adoption of these Specifications shall also aid Wasatch County in their work by providing a basis for inspecting construction projects throughout the county.

Wasatch County has adopted the Manual of Standard Specifications, 2007 Edition of the Utah Chapters of the American Public Works Association (APWA) and the Associated General Contractors of America as the basis for work in Wasatch County. This manual is available for purchase on line at www.utah.apwa.net or from Utah T2 Center at 1 800 822-8878. On a limited basis, copies may also be ordered through our offices at 1891 West 3000 South, Heber Utah, 84032 (phone # 435 654-1661).

The following document is a supplement to the APWA specifications containing design parameters, and additions and amendments to the APWA specifications. This manual sets forth the standards for the preparation and processing of improvement plans of all related public work projects to be constructed under permit within Wasatch County and should be used in conjunction with the Wasatch County Code. The Wasatch County code may be found on the counties web site at www.co.wasatch.ut.us. This manual will also regulate any construction work completed through contract for Wasatch County.

Work will be governed in order by the following documents:

1. Wasatch County Code
2. Wasatch County’s Supplement to APWA Specifications
3. Utah’s APWA Specifications, 2007 Edition
4. UDOT Standards and Specifications, 2008 Edition
