Description

Description

The Washington County Water Conservancy District passed a new policy that increases regulations on the top 1% of commercial, institutional, and industrial water users, including golf courses, data centers, and bottling plants. The policy requires any new project using 9 million gallons or more of water per year to receive additional review and approval from a committee representing eight cities and towns. This aims to protect the water supply in the water-strapped region of southern Utah, which relies solely on the Virgin River Basin and has no open water rights.
