The Draper Irrigation Company was awarded a $7,108,210 Project Grant from the Department of the Interior Bureau of Reclamation under the Reclamation States Emergency Drought Relief (CFDA 15.514) federal grant program. The grant will fund the installation of four shallow groundwater wells and approximately 7,100 feet of conveyance piping near the Jordan Basin Water Reclamation Facility in Salt Lake County, Utah. This infrastructure project will provide approximately 2,992 acre-feet per year of secondary water for irrigation usage, allowing the conservation of surface water supplies in Utah Lake to benefit endangered species like the June Sucker fish. The secondary water supply is also intended to reduce customers' reliance on treated culinary water for irrigation. The project is supported by neighboring water districts and the Utah Department of Natural Resources, and builds upon drought planning work conducted with prior Bureau of Reclamation grant assistance. The grant-funded infrastructure improvements will increase local water resource resilience during periods of drought.
