142 years
of moving
the same water.
The water we delivered to a household in Clinton this morning left Weber Canyon the same way it has for 142 years — down our canal. The infrastructure has changed. The commitment hasn't.
Company incorporated
Twenty-three farmers pool $14,000 to build an earthen dam on the Weber River and a 23-mile main canal to irrigate the bench lands of northern Davis County.
Canal concrete-lined
First major infrastructure upgrade: the upper 8 miles of the main canal are concrete-lined, reducing seepage losses by an estimated 35%.
Secondary water system begins
First pressurized secondary water lines laid in Clinton. The split between primary (canal) and secondary (pressurized) systems formally begins.
East Canyon Dam completed
The U.S. Bureau of Reclamation completes the East Canyon Dam, dramatically increasing storage capacity to 51,200 acre-feet.
Secondary system expands to five cities
Pressurized secondary water service reaches all five current cities: Clinton, Kaysville, Layton, South Weber, and West Point.
Metered connections reach 10,000
Rapid Davis County growth pushes the secondary system past the 10,000-connection milestone. First conservation programs launched.
SCADA monitoring installed
System-wide SCADA control and monitoring installed across all five service areas, enabling remote pressure and flow management.
17,000 connections
Secondary system reaches 17,000 metered connections. Board approves 10-year capital plan to address aging infrastructure.
Online customer portal launches
My Water Utah portal launched — 6,200 households signed up in the first season for online billing and meter-usage tracking.
Drought-year conservation campaign
Record-low snowpack triggers formal drought-year guidance for the first time in 14 years. 2× per week watering target set system-wide.
