SALT LAKE CITY Utah and the rest of the West are headed into the summer facing extreme drought conditions and calls for water conservation are only going to heat up as temperatures climb.
This week, Utah Gov. Spencer Cox issued an executive order prohibiting state agencies from watering during the hottest times of the day between 10 a.m. and 6 p.m. and encouraged other water providers to follow suit. Last year, Utah experienced one of the driest and hottest years on record, and we anticipate another tough drought year ahead, Cox said. State government is committed to doing its part to conserve water and we encourage all Utahns to use this most precious resource wisely and sparingly.
