Working with Bowen Collins & Associates, Inc., the Department has prepared the 2025 Water Conservation Plan in accordance with the State of Utah Conservation Plan Act 73-10-003200, as well as under guidelines outlined in the American Water Works Association Manual M52: Water Conservation Programs.
At its simplest, water conservation is the effort of learning to use less water while maintaining quality-of-life standards to do more with less, not doing without. There are many reasons to conserve water, and for a community, it makes sense to plan that conservation effort. Planning helps:
- quantify water supply, assess historical demand, and establish appropriate goals
- ensure that water conservation programs are adequate to achieve established goals
- communicates complex issues that affect short- and long-term conservation efforts
- convey the need to conserve, identify tools and resources, and builds a shared purpose that motives us all to achieve the desired, and necessary, conservation goals.
The goals of the adopted 2025 Water Conservation Plan are to:
- Keep on track to meet long-term water supply needs.
- Facilitate efforts to increase resource and system resilience in the face of identified risks, including climate change.
- Encourage the continued wise use of water, an important limited resource; and
- Be consistent with conservation goals established by the State, Central Utah Project, Alliance for Water Efficiency, U.S. Environmental Protection Agency.
