Staff outlines water-conservation element added to Draper’s general plan
Summary
A staff presenter described the new water element added following SB 110, outlining goals including a water-conservation team, irrigation/time-of-day restrictions, a water-shortage plan, water-wise landscaping standards and commercial rebate programs.
A staff presenter reviewed the new water element added to Draper City’s general plan and described several city-level strategies intended to reduce municipal and community water use. The presenter said that "in 2022, the state passed, SB 110, which required a new element within our general plan," and that the new chapter includes goals and strategies around conservation, demand reduction and public outreach.
Key strategies listed by staff included forming a water-conservation team or designating an intern to support implementation, exploring irrigation restrictions (time-of-day watering), developing a drought-focused water-shortage plan, incentivizing water-wise landscaping through commercial rebate programs, and having the city lead by example through reduced turf and more efficient park irrigation. Staff said the element is a guide for future council decisions and does not itself automatically implement the strategies; the city council will decide which actions to adopt and when to implement them.
