SOUTH JORDAN Fred Lampropoulos felt inspired to change how handles his home s and business s landscaping based on a drive he took to Kamas last month.
The president and CEO of Merit Medical Systems saw the drying conditions and how they affected the land around Jordanelle Reservoir. He decided at the moment to cut the amount of water at his home in half and ordered the same for Merit Medical Systems South Jordan campus.
The company also plans to have all of its grass removed by the end of the summer and replaced with more water-wise plants. Lampropoulos said it s actually an idea that was already in the works but Utah s drying conditions made clear how important it was to cut back on unneeded watering.

LEHI A group of neighbors in Lehi sided against their homeowners association after a family was fined for their decorations celebrating Ramadan.
Ahsan Ali Khan lives in an Ivory Homes community near 900 West and 2800 North. The Khans are Muslim and recently celebrated Ramadan. It s just a month to reflect, and during this month, we fast from dawn to dusk, said Khan.
As a way of showing his faith, he decorated for the holiday by putting out a sign that said Happy Ramadan, some lights around his porch and a few others on his walkway. We tend to have some decorations around the house so we can express that we re celebrating Ramadan and create an ambiance of Ramadan, especially for the kids, said Khan.
