The water district’s impact study indicates that it used 99% of its available water supply in 2022. At the same time, the district also says it has enough water to accommodate several more years of growth.
Ivins Reservoir in early February 2023.In talking about water conservation, Washington County Water Conservancy District general manager Zach Renstrom likes to recall a conversation he had with a homebuilder several years ago.
Renstrom’s story reinforced one of the central themes sounded at Ivins City’s Water Talkabout Wednesday night — the need to educate people and foster a water-conservation mentality. Not promoting that mindset and more aggressive action, Renstrom and other experts attested at the crowded event at Rocky Vista University, could have dire consequences.
Another possible source, Scott explained, is the plan’s call to build 18 major capital projects — none of which are scheduled yet — over the next years at a cost of $400 million. Scott said stricter conservation measures could add to the total of new homes allowed. Scott derived the data for his presentation from the water district and the United States Geological Survey.
As for the Lake Powell Pipeline, Renstrom said it is still part of the district’s long-term plan, even though many experts say Lake Powell’s historically low water levels and the Colorado River’s greatly reduced water flows make construction of the 140-mile pipeline extremely unlikely. “Since the year 2000, Ivins city has reduced its per capita use of [water] by … almost 40%, and we’re committed to adding another one percent to that every year for the next 10 years,” Hart added.
