• 2026 Drought Level 3 - Reduced Water Season (20% Reduction from Annual Allocation)

 

Utah’s snowpack is the lowest on record and peaked three weeks early.

In Utah, about 95% of our water supply comes from snowpack.

Water conservation remains critical as water managers prepare to rely on existing reservoir storage to meet summer demands

Deep Roots: Delaying irrigation "trains" your grass to grow deep roots in search of spring moisture, making it much tougher for the hot July ahead.

Mother Nature’s Help: Late spring rains and snowmelt usually provide all the water your yard needs right now.

Preventing Waste: Early watering often leads to water loss through evaporation rather than absorption, and allows for conservation in the early season when reservoir levels are being managed.

Save Water (and Money): Keeping those sprinklers off for just a few extra weeks saves thousands of gallons of our local water supply.
