Neighbor warns commissioners a proposed RV campground could strain shared well, raise safety concerns

Jul 14, 2026

A Deer Springs resident told the Kane County Commission a planned RV campground would use a six‑lot well that already struggles to serve two lots, and raised fire, trash and noise concerns; county staff said such campgrounds are handled by a Planning Commission conditional use permit and can be conditioned or revoked for safety violations.

The full story

Tammy Lettet, who identified herself as representing Nevada Deer Springs Ranch, told the Kane County Commission during public comment that a neighbor plans to open an RV campground and that residents learned about it by accident. "We found out by sheer accident last week that 1 of our neighbors wants to put in a campground, an RV park," she said, adding the proposed use could directly affect water availability on a shared well. "The well that they are on is the same well that we are on. We have 2 lots on that well. There's only 6 lots on that well," Lettet said, describing low retention‑tank levels this year.
