Whether you’re a homeowner, renter, or business owner, there are simple ways you can help protect our waterways and make the most of our water resources.

Adopt a West Jordan Storm Drain
Storm drains in your neighborhood lead directly to local rivers and streams. When leaves, grass clippings, and trash collect near the grates, they can clog drains and carry pollutants into our water system. You can help by “adopting” a drain: give it a name, commit to keeping it clear, and be part of a cleaner West Jordan. Sign up and learn more on our website.

Wait to Water
After it rains, turn off your sprinklers. Utah lawns typically only need to be watered once or twice a week—even less after a good storm. Overwatering doesn’t just waste water—it can lead to runoff that picks up pollution and carries it straight into our storm drains. If the ground is still wet, give your lawn a break. Find out more information from the Utah Division of Water Resources.

Rain Harvest Barrels
Want to capture rain for later? The City of West Jordan, through the Utah Rivers Council, is offering Rain Harvest Barrels at a discount, a great way to store free water for your landscaping. Supplies are limited—learn more and reserve yours at utahrivers.org/rainharvest. This offer ends April 27th, 2025.

Together, these small steps make a big difference. Help us keep West Jordan clean, green, and water-wise.
