Wasatch County Water Efficiency Project
The development of Heber Valley's water resources has offered Central
Utah Water Conservancy District (CUWCD) unique opportunities to meet
goals and mandates of the Central Utah Project Completion Act (CUPCA).
The Wasatch County Water Efficiency Project (WCWEP) was planned to
dramatically reduce irrigation water use by making pressurized water
available for sprinkler conversions. Conveyance losses would also
be cut as aged canals were lined and rehabilitated. Water conserved
would be used to meet three particular goals: 1) help meet the CUPCA
mandate of water conservation, 2) bolster in-stream flows in five
Heber Valley streams, and 3) replace the historical source of Daniels
Irrigation Company's water diverted from the Strawberry River. The
termination of the 100-year-old Daniels Diversion was mandated by
CUPCA and has been included in WCWEP planning from the outset.
