Water Conservation

Drought continues to impact Park City, and the State of Utah. These impacts are immediately apparent when driving past nearby reservoirs. The Park City Community is fortunate to have a variety of water sources to draw from, the majority of which are not reservoir dependent. In 2022, local snowpack was underwhelming, but slightly better than in 2021. In the Spring, soil moisture was above average and provided a productive spring runoff.

Your actions last year made a difference, and we are grateful in advance for your careful use of water again this spring and summer. Due to continued drought and reduced water treatment capacity during construction of the 3Kings Water Treatment Plant, the City is asking for your help. We are recommending that where possible, outdoor irrigation be limited to twice per week. By code, irrigation may not occur more frequently than every other day. Please remain mindful of your water usage and look for ways to conserve.

Please review the information below for watering restrictions and action you can take to reduce your water usage and bill.
