Local water district warns of 'worst water year' and offers conservation support
Summary
A Central‑area water district representative told Duchesne County officials this is the "worst water year we've ever had," emphasized low snowpack and offered technical conservation assistance to communities and a landscape conversion incentive program.
A presenter from the Central water district told county officials that the region is facing exceptionally low water supplies this year and urged communities to partner on conservation.
"This is the worst water year we've ever had... Lowest snowpack, least amount of water," the Agency official said, urging conservation and offering district staff expertise to assist communities with water‑wise landscaping and management.
District staff described conservation programs, technical support and incentives for landscape conversion. Commissioners asked about specific supply figures and diversions; staff referenced Strawberry Reservoir and other components of the aqueduct system and suggested follow‑up work to pull detailed engineering numbers from the office.
Officials agreed to coordinate on locally tailored conversion projects and to bring more detailed supply and capacity data to a future joint meeting for planning and potential grant applications.
