Utah is one of the top five driest states in the nation and is one of the fastest-growing. Our population will nearly double by 2065! The need to use water efficiently is imperative to meeting future water needs. Water conservation goals were established for nine different regions around the state for municipal and industrial water conservation in 2019. This is the first time conservation goals have been established on a regional level and they build on the previously established statewide goal of reducing per-capita use by 25% by 2025. By working together, we know we can reach and exceed these new goals!
Utah Division of Water Resources

The Utah Division of Water Resources is committed to taking water efficiency in our state to the next level. We partner with local communities, organizations, water suppliers and academic institutions to provide the tools and resources necessary for sustainable growth. We support water conservation through planning, statewide rebates, water-wise demonstration gardens, classes, certifications, online resources, social media and strategic campaigns. We are excited to see so many Utahns step up to use water wisely!
Our mission includes Three Pillars:
- Do Your Part: There is not an entity or individual that shoulders all of the responsibility for, or is the exception to, water efficiency. We all need to do what we can to use water wisely.
- Every Step is Progress: Whether the improvement is fixing a leak, installing a low flow toilet, adjusting sprinkler systems and timers, or installing water-wise landscaping, we cheer the change.
- Efficiency is Utah’s Ethic: We do not conserve water because we have a wet or dry year. We are efficient because as Utahns we are not wasteful.

The district and its municipal partners are committed to further conservation achievements. Washington County is the hottest and driest region of the state and has one of the highest growth rates, almost tripling in size in the last 20 years.
