Living in an semi-arid climate doesn’t mean we have
to give up beautiful gardens to compensate for
nominal rainfall. As of March 31, 2008, Utah has
received approximately 9.60” of precipitation since
October 2007 through March 31 2008, about 1.6” of
precipitation per month. December was our heaviest
month for precipitation at 3.35” (Source: Salt
Lake City International Airport Weather Station,
NOAA report)
New technologies in residential and business
irrigation products have helped us to regulate water
usage with some simple programming and automation.
Magna Water Company is committed to providing its
9,500 water users with the tools necessary to
conserve water—and save money—through links to
conservation resources, improvements in the
District’s infrastructure, innovative technologies
in water treatment and production, and our
Comprehensive Water Conservation Program.
In 1998, the Utah State Legislature approved the
Water Conservation Plan Act which was passed and
revised in the 1999 legislative session. Driving
this initiative was the response to rapid growth,
suburbanization and planning for the future cost of
and availability of water to consumers.
The purpose of this Water Conservation Plan is to
provide information to Magna Water District’s water
users and educators, to fulfill the provisions of
this Act, and to be included in the District’s
Master Planning.
