Stephanie Duer of SLC Conservation with helpful water-saving information as the high temps of summer arrive. Those who are looking for more ways to improve their outdoor water use can explore other water conservation resources listed below.

  • Water Checks: have a USU team visit your home or business to assess your outdoor watering habits and provide recommendations to improve watering efficiency.

  • WaterMAPSTM: compare your outdoor watering history with your landscape irrigation needs to determine whether you can adjust your watering habits or use water more efficiently.

  • Some of the water conservation tools provided above are intended for SLCDPU customers and may require customers to provide their account number to access the resources. Other resources are available for Utahns who live outside of SLCDPU’s service area but still want to prioritize water conservation. Residents should check with their municipality or water provider for resources specific to their location.
