Mind The Water
Salt Lake City has relaunched its "Keep It Pure" initiative, a campaign aimed at keeping watersheds clean. The Department of Public Utilities says they've rebooted the program as the number of people visiting mountains and watersheds surges. The department says about 60% of Salt Lake City's drinking water comes from the canyon watersheds in the central Wasatch Mountains. Among several recommendations, people are being asked to stay out of the water and on designated trails. They’re also urged to use bathroom facilities, not to litter and to keep dogs and other domesticated animals out of the watershed. —
