2 water companies fail to comply with state act

The Utah Division of Water Resources said Wednesday it has identified two water companies as noncompliant with the Water Conservation Plan Act.

West Corinne Water Co. and Woods Cross Municipal Water failed to submit water conservation plans, as required by the WCPA, the division said.

The act requires water conservancy districts and retailers with more than 500 drinking-water connections to prepare water conservation plans and submit them to the division. The requirement covers systems that provide water to about 93 percent of Utah's population. The act also stipulates that water conservation plans are to be updated and resubmitted every five years and noncompliance is to be made public.

The division said West Corinne Water Co. recently began evaluating its supply system and plans to add a water conservation component to its evaluation in the near future. Woods Cross Municipal Water is aware of the need to produce a plan, the division said.
