MAYOR’S OFFICE

MAYOR’S MESSAGE

Brett A. Hales -Mayor

Water Conservation Water conservation is being good stewards of a life and community sustaining resource. It takes education, incentives, and policy to effectively manage a conservation program. You can find incentive programs here murray.utah.gov/255/Water-Conservation Flip your Strip, Turf Trade, Toilet, Showerhead and Smart Sprinkler Controller rebates. We have partnered with likeminded entities to assist with our conservation program. The National Energy Foundation, Utah Rivers Council, EPA WaterSense, to name a few. Murray city residents have used 19.4% less water since 2020 because of their actions to water conservation communication and education. The State of Utah requires water providers like Murray City to prepare and adopt a water conservation plan every 5 years. This conservation plan gives us a road map to meet the 2019 Utah Regional Conservation Goals. The State has set goals to reduce overall water use but largely focuses on reductions in outdoor use. Outdoor use contributes to our water system peak demand. Lessening this

will extend the lifespan of existing infrastructure and water sources. Indoor use will continue to decline naturally as old, inefficient devices and fixtures wear out and are replaced with new, more efficient models that we promote as a WaterSense partner. The regional goals are designed to reduce Gallons per Capita per Day (GPCD). The Salt Lake Region started in 2019 at 222 GPCD and water providers are expected to attain GPCD deadlines that eventually achieve 169 GPCD in 2065. The graph attached shows Murray City’s GPCD for the past five years. GPCD with irrigation is what we submit to the state with our Water User report yearly. The total with irrigation water doesn’t necessarily reflect how our residents have performed because this water solely fills the Willow Pond, irrigation for the Jordan River Parkway and Murray City Golf Course. That is why we are presenting both methods. We thank all Murray City Water users for their efforts in conservation and being mindful of how we use our most precious resource. 300
