Current Guidelines

• Delay Outdoor Watering until June 1st.

Why we recommend waiting until June 1st to water.

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.
