Tooele County General Plan Element 2026

This Water Use and Preservation General Plan Element for Tooele County aims to consolidate resources and information on water use and conservation. Its primary goal is to integrate water availability into land use planning and foster collaboration for reliable water for all users, now and in the future. The plan focuses on three main areas: Water Resources, Agricultural Protection, and Drinking Water, with specific desired outcomes including developing a water budget, reducing water demand and per capita use, eliminating wasteful water practices, minimizing the impact on the Great Salt Lake, achieving regional conservation goals, protecting agricultural areas, improving irrigation efficiency, diversifying water supply, and considering regionalization for water systems.
