The Washington County Water Conservancy District, operating as Water Conservatory, received a $4,334,050 Project Grant award from the U.S. Department of the Interior's Bureau of Reclamation under the Water Recycling and Desalination Construction Programs (CFDA 15.504). The grant will fund planning and pre-construction studies for a regional water reuse system in Washington County, Utah. Key components include upgrading the existing St. George Reuse Facility to 14 MGD capacity, constructing a 7 MGD advanced water treatment facility, and installing pipelines to convey recycled water for potable and secondary irrigation uses. The regional reuse system aims to maximize local water supplies and meet growing demands in the face of climate change, ultimately allowing the reuse of approximately 47,000 acre-feet of water annually by 2050. The grant-funded studies will gather design data, refine project plans, initiate environmental compliance, and complete baseline environmental and cultural resource assessments to support the implementation of this critical water infrastructure project.
