Duchesne County Water Conservancy District

The Duchesne County Water Conservancy District is a non-profit organization located in Roosevelt, Utah, focused on water resource management, conservation, and infrastructure development in northeastern Utah. Registered in SAM.gov since August 15, 2014, the organization specializes in water-related projects that enhance efficiency, protect watersheds, and support agricultural communities, particularly serving the Ute Indian Tribe and surrounding regions. The district primarily engages with federal agencies through grant awards, demonstrating a commitment to sustainable water resource management and infrastructure improvement.

The organization has secured multiple significant federal grants from the Bureau of Reclamation's WaterSMART program and the Department of Agriculture's Natural Resources Conservation Service, totaling over $39.6 million in recent awards. These grants have funded diverse water infrastructure projects, including pipeline metering installations, canal rehabilitation, watershed protection, and water efficiency improvements. Specific projects include the Eastern Duchesne Projects Pipeline Metering, which will install 152 magnetic flow meters on various pipelines, the Farm Creek Canal Rehabilitation, and the Duchesne East Watershed Project. The grants focus on creating closed, pressurized delivery systems, reducing water leakage, and improving water resource management. The projects aim to achieve substantial water savings, with one project alone expected to conserve 2,392 acre-feet annually, while supporting local agricultural communities and addressing water scarcity challenges in drought-prone regions.
