At Jordan Valley, responsible stewardship goes beyond water. 💧⚡

At our last board meeting, Rocky Mountain Power recognized Jordan Valley Water Conservancy District for our participation in the 2025 Wattsmart Business Demand Response program.

Through the program, our system operators strategically shut down wells during periods of high energy demand, helping reduce strain on the energy grid while lowering our energy costs.

This work wouldn’t be possible without the leadership of our Security & Emergency Response Coordinator, Alex Mitchell, and the dedication of our system operators.

Using our resources wisely helps us provide quality service while being good stewards of the community we serve!

Saving water doesn’t just happen at home! Businesses and commercial properties can create beautiful, waterwise landscapes designed for Utah too.

Our Administration Building is a great example. The majority of the landscape around the building and parking lot is now three years old and is filling in so beautifully! Much of this space was previously grass, and transforming it into a waterwise landscape has created a space that is not only more water efficient, but much more useful and welcoming too.

We’re so thankful for our staff who helped plan, design, and install this landscape, and who continue to care for and maintain it. It’s been so rewarding to watch it grow as we grow.

Our Administration Building isn’t the only District property making the transition. Many of our other properties have already been converted to waterwise landscaping, while others are currently in the process. We’re excited to share some of those highlights with you soon!

Commercial properties may also be eligible for rebates through the Landscape Incentive Program. Visit Slow the Flow to see if your property qualifies and learn more about available incentives!

Waterwise landscaping can be beautiful, functional, and a great way to make a difference... no matter the size or type of property. 💧

Last week, our team celebrated a major milestone on the Southwest Aqueduct Reach 2 by leaving their handprints on the final section of 66-inch pipeline before it was installed.
 
This project includes two miles of new welded steel pipeline, creating a continuous connection from the Jordan Valley Water Treatment Plant to 11400 South. Once complete, it will provide approximately 90 million gallons per day of additional water conveyance capacity while adding important system redundancy to help ensure reliable water delivery for our communities.
 
The handprints represent more than just a tradition—they recognize the decades of planning, collaboration, and dedication that brought this project to life. Thank you to our District staff and our valued partners at Bowen Collins & Associates, Horrocks Engineers, Condie Construction Company, and Riverton City for helping make this milestone possible.
 
Here’s to the people behind the projects that keep our water system strong!
