This creates higher water use from a limited supply. After discussions and coordination with Weber Basin and other water agencies, it has been decided to be prudent in planning for next year’s water season. The 2018 irrigation season will end October 1st so that we can begin to save as much water as possible in storage for the 2019 water season.
As many know, the below normal snowpack produced less water than desired, and the
irrigation season has been hot and dry. We all hoped for rainfall to assist in the water supply,
but the area is in a drought condition. This creates higher water use from a limited supply. After
discussions and coordination with Weber Basin and other water agencies, it has been decided to be
prudent in planning for next year’s water season. The 2018 irrigation season will end October 1st
so that we can begin to save as much water as possible in storage for the 2019 water season.
We appreciate your understanding of this situation and timeline. We ask that you efficiently use
the water wisely for the remainder of the time and be aware of the water situation. We hope that
this upcoming winter will produce more snow than this past year, if not, reservoirs may not fill
next spring. Thank you.
