How are you preparing for spring? Now is a good time to get our yards back to a clean, useable condition to enjoy this summer. Would you believe having a beautiful yard doesn\u2019t require that much water?<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Why conserve water?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n We just experienced the 9th<\/sup> driest February in over the past 128 years. While the Division of Natural Resources downgraded the state from exceptional drought to extreme drought status \u2013 we\u2019re still far below the snowpack needed to refill our reservoirs. Because we conserved water so well last year, we did not have to mandate restrictions. We can do that again this year by paying attention to our watering procedures.<\/p>\n\n\n\n How the city is conserving water:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n Once again, West Jordan is prioritizing wise water use this Spring, Summer, and Fall. Last year, the city passed a new landscaping ordinance that encourages the use of water-wise landscapes, smart meters, and no longer requires grass in park strips. The city is also teaming up with Jordan Valley Conservation Garden Park which offers classes and rebates to residents.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Other ways you can save water and money:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n Making efforts today saves water for tomorrow. I look forward to seeing you all outside!<\/p>\n\n\n\n Sincerely,<\/p>\n\n\n\n Mayor Dirk Burton<\/p>\n","protected":false},"featured_media":0,"template":"","categories":[],"tags":[],"acf":[],"yoast_head":"\n
