Water Conservation Plan 2025

Salt Lake City Department of Public Utilities (SLCDPU) is seeking input on the draft 2025 Water Conservation plan. Read the draft plan and share your input via the Water Conservation Plan Survey.

Working with Bowen Collins & Associates, Inc., the Department has prepared this 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 in the draft 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.
