The declaration comes as state leaders expand conservation programs aimed at reducing outdoor water use, which accounts for a large portion of household consumption during the summer months. Programs encouraging residents to replace grass with drought friendly landscaping are already making an impact statewide. Folks can convert their landscape and remove unnecessary turf and replace it with a water wise landscape. This is saving about 215 million gallons of water annually. Lawmakers have invested millions into water conservation efforts including sprinkler controller rebates, secondary water metering and future planning projects designed to better manage Utah's growing demand for water.
