Water deliveries across our region are currently down about 10 percent compared to this time last year, and every effort to use water wisely makes a difference. Thank you for doing your part to support a sustainable water future for our community!

Watering Recommendations

You may have noticed that the Utah Division of Water Resources weekly watering guide is currently recommending three watering days per week in our area. This guide offers weather-based recommendations to help residents understand how much water landscapes typically need from week to week.

Regional Conservation Goals

At the same time, Jordan Valley Water Conservancy District is encouraging residents to water two days per week or less to help meet regional conservation goals and respond to current supply conditions.

These recommendations serve different purposes:

The state watering guide focuses on ideal watering based on weekly weather.

Local guidance takes into account our broader water supply conditions and long-term conservation goals.

City Initiatives and Resident Action

Here in our city, we are supporting regional conservation efforts by reducing our own outdoor water use by 10 percent at City facilities.

We encourage residents to join us by finding ways to use 10 percent less water at home—whether that’s adjusting sprinkler run times, fixing leaks, or skipping a watering cycle when your lawn doesn’t need it. Most established lawns remain healthy with less water than we often think, especially when irrigation is efficient.

Thank you for helping use water wisely this summer. Together, we can protect our water supply today and for future seasons.
