Reduction in Water Use Needed Due to ongoing severe drought conditions, the Jordan Valley Water Conservancy District (JVWCD) and its member agencies, including Draper City, have adopted a Level 2 water availability for communities across the region. This designation means all cities supplied by JVWCD must work together to achieve a 10% reduction in water use to help protect our shared water supply and prevent reservoir levels from dropping too low. What Residents Can Do To help meet this goal, the following guidance is now in place: - Do not water until May 15 – We are still experiencing periods of rain. Let nature do the work. - Watering after May 15 – Please check the Utah Division of Water Resources’ Weekly Lawn Watering Guide for customized recommendations for your area and lawn type. - Stop watering in September–October - As temperatures drop, outdoor watering is no longer necessary. These simple changes, when adopted across the community, can make a significant impact. Why It Matters Water is one of our most valuable resources, especially in a dry year like this. By making small adjustments now, we can help ensure there is enough water for homes, businesses, firefighting, and future needs. Long-Term Solutions For residents who are tired of maintaining high-water-use lawns, Draper City’s partnership with Utah Water Savers offers a landscape incentive program, subject to funding availability, to help you make changes that use less water and save money. Through the landscape incentive program, residents can receive up to $3 per square foot of lawn they replace with water-efficient landscaping. Landscaping project options include park strip, side yard, and full yard conversions. Draper residents are also eligible for a $1 per square foot incentive for switching to drip irrigation, and a $50 per tree incentive for adding trees. Additional incentives
