Conservation Plans

The Utah legislature revised a bill in 2004 requiring water agencies with more than 500 service connections, as well as all water conservancy districts, to submit a water conservation plan to the Utah Division of Water Resources. The bill also indicates that the plans be updated no less than every five years. While water agencies with less than 500 connections are not required by this bill to submit plans, the Utah Board of Water Resources requires a water conservation plan for all agencies requesting funding.

The Utah Water Conservation Forum can help water agencies find resources to keep them in compliance with the law. Please contact us for more information.
