Attention Jackson Flat Visitors
If your boat has been on quagga
mussel infested water (Lake Powell,
Deer Creek, out of state) within the last
30 days and you want to launch on
Jackson Flat Reservoir, please call our
office at 435-644-3997 or 801-6690573 for a brief over-the-phone
quagga mussel inspection. If the
reservoir is infested, the quagga
mussel will ruin the ecosystem in the
reservoir affecting the fishery and the
recreation areas will be ruined.
Additionally, the pumps and
infrastructure will be completely
destroyed.
Please do your part to
keep Jackson Flat Reservoir mussel
free. After leaving a body of water:
clean, drain and dry your watercraft. If
Governor Gary Herbert Visits
KCWCD Office Building
Governor Gary Herbert visited Kane County in April 2017 and
toured the region. One of his stops was at the KCWCD office for
a luncheon and an update on the well being of the state and
county. When asked about the progress on his statewide initiative
to reduce per capita water usage by 25% by the year 2025, Herbert
said, “We are right on track. Campaigns like Slow the Flow, Save
H20, are a big part of that.”
Announcements
you have been in infested waters,
please get a decon on your watercraft
or wait the appropriate dry time. (DRY
TIMES: winter-30 days, spring & fall-18
days, summer-7 days) For questions or
concerns, please contact KCWCD.

Recycle
Water
KCWCD is running a water conservation incentive this
summer. July, August and September are months
where we see high water usage from customers.
Because people tend to use more water during these
months, we see more water being wasted as well.
KCWCD is committed to conserving water for future
use. The top two customers that save the highest
percentage of water from July, August and September
in 2016 to the same summer months in 2017, will win
their choice of a rainwater harvest barrel or a $100
credit toward their bill. Of course, KCWCD would
love to see the winners select the rainwater harvest
barrel in order to recycle water for outdoor use on your
properties, but understand if you take the money!
Simply hook up your rain gutter to your new barrel and
start saving water and money by using the rain water
collected in the barrel on outside use like water
vegetation, washing off your sidewalk or driveway, and
cleaning vehicles. The barrel has a spigot at the bottom
to get your water from or simply attach a hose for use.
Visit our website at www.kcwcd.com
and click on the conservation tab to learn
more about water conservation, the 20
gallon challenge and water saving tips.
