The Legislature snubbed a bill Wednesday that would have created a new authority to manage and clean up the lake, Utah s largest fresh water lake.   | Feb. 24, 2021, 7:25 p.m. A bill that would turn over management of the beleaguered Utah Lake to a new taxing authority was swamped by opposition during its first committee hearing Tuesday. Under the bill, the Utah Division of Forestry, Fire and State Lands would turn over control over the state-owned lake bed to the Utah Lake Authority.

The tall tower is equipped with wind, temperature, snow depth and solar radiation sensors. The brown tower, left, is a precipitation gage. All the sensors send information to the equipment shelter, right, where the data is uploaded to the NRCS. Snotels are located in often remote, high-elevation mountain watersheds and monitor snowpack, precipitation, soil moisture, temperature, and other climatic conditions affecting Utah s watersheds. Since roughly 95% of Utah s water supply comes from snowmelt, Snow Survey staff use Snotel data to forecast summer water supply conditions in the state s watersheds.
