Jordan Valley Water Cons Dist

Jordan Valley Water Conservancy District (JVWCD) is a U.S. local government entity based in West Jordan, Utah, that serves as both a wholesale and retail water provider in Salt Lake County. Registered in SAM.gov since July 2003, JVWCD provides federal grant awards focused on water infrastructure development and drought resilience initiatives. The district has established itself as a regional water management authority serving the residents, households, and businesses throughout Salt Lake County and neighboring municipalities that rely on its water supply services.

JVWCD has received substantial federal grant funding to enhance water supply infrastructure and drought preparedness across multiple initiatives. The district was awarded $8,458,200 from the U.S. Bureau of Reclamation's Reclamation States Emergency Drought Relief program (CFDA 15.514) to construct a 5 million gallon per day water treatment plant in Holladay, Utah, designed to treat water from previously unutilized Casto and Dry Creek Springs, with completion expected by June 30, 2028. Additionally, JVWCD received $4,561,706 in Cooperative Agreement funding from the Environmental Protection Agency under the Congressionally Mandated Projects program (CFDA 66.202) to replace, add, and upgrade generators and electronics at five drinking water pump stations, ensuring water service continuity during catastrophic power outages by July 31, 2028. An earlier $8,514,513 project grant from the Bureau of Reclamation's Reclamation States Emergency Drought Relief program supported the expansion of JVWCD's aquifer storage and recovery program, including construction of two new recovery wells and pumping stations to increase annual water yield by up to 2,840 acre-feet during drought conditions. The district also administered two landscape rebate programs funded by the Bureau of Reclamation, incentivizing homeowners to replace inefficient turf with water-efficient landscaping, which resulted in replacing 1,720,832 square feet of landscaping and generating 79 acre-feet in annual water savings. All projects have been prioritized within JVWCD's drought contingency plan and capital improvement strategies, reflecting the district's comprehensive approach to addressing Utah's chronic drought conditions.
