Every watering decision counts!
 
A rainy day can be a simple opportunity to use less water. When we pay attention to the conditions around us and skip watering when our lawns don’t need it, those small choices add up.
 
This year is different. Water with intention. Life is better with water.

💧Did you know Utah Lake could become an important future source of water for Salt Lake County?

As water that has historically been used for agriculture in Salt Lake County becomes available, it can help meet the needs of a growing population.

Developing a new water source takes decades of planning. Because Utah Lake’s water quality can vary significantly, treating it for drinking water is more complex than other sources. We’ve started a Treatability Study to determine the best technology for treating it.

This week, our Board Chair and General Manager toured Pure Water San Diego to learn from their experience implementing advanced water treatment at a regional scale. The tour provided valuable insights—from fitting treatment technology into a small footprint to helping the public understand and embrace new approaches to water treatment.

Planning today helps ensure reliable water supplies for the future!

At Jordan Valley, responsible stewardship goes beyond water. 💧⚡

At our last board meeting, Rocky Mountain Power recognized Jordan Valley Water Conservancy District for our participation in the 2025 Wattsmart Business Demand Response program.

Through the program, our system operators strategically shut down wells during periods of high energy demand, helping reduce strain on the energy grid while lowering our energy costs.

This work wouldn’t be possible without the leadership of our Security & Emergency Response Coordinator, Alex Mitchell, and the dedication of our system operators.

Using our resources wisely helps us provide quality service while being good stewards of the community we serve!

Saving water doesn’t just happen at home! Businesses and commercial properties can create beautiful, waterwise landscapes designed for Utah too.

Our Administration Building is a great example. The majority of the landscape around the building and parking lot is now three years old and is filling in so beautifully! Much of this space was previously grass, and transforming it into a waterwise landscape has created a space that is not only more water efficient, but much more useful and welcoming too.

We’re so thankful for our staff who helped plan, design, and install this landscape, and who continue to care for and maintain it. It’s been so rewarding to watch it grow as we grow.

Our Administration Building isn’t the only District property making the transition. Many of our other properties have already been converted to waterwise landscaping, while others are currently in the process. We’re excited to share some of those highlights with you soon!

Commercial properties may also be eligible for rebates through the Landscape Incentive Program. Visit Slow the Flow to see if your property qualifies and learn more about available incentives!

Waterwise landscaping can be beautiful, functional, and a great way to make a difference... no matter the size or type of property. 💧
