While a lot of emphasis has been placed on the agricultural use of water in Utah, particularly in the Great Salt Lake drainage, a resolution is asking cities to do their part to conserve by adopting water efficiency standards for new construction.
A new poll that tapped at least 400 registered voters in each of the eight Western states surveyed shows residents are putting a top priority on clean air, clean water, conservation of natural spaces and combatting the incidence of extreme wildfires.
Despite some concerns about priorities set forth in a legislative measure, a proposed revision to Utah s energy policy passed the House on Thursday on a 63-9 vote.
A partnership proposed by Ogden City with the state of Utah has the potential to save millions of gallons of water per day, ensure a reliable supply of culinary water and help the Great Salt Lake \u2014 tackling an avian nightmare that plays out each summer.
