Riverton City Launches 'A Little Less Is A Lot More' Campaign to Cut Culinary Water Use by 10%
Riverton City launched a water conservation campaign to achieve a 10% reduction in culinary water usage by 2026, in line with goals set by the Jordan Valley Water Conservancy District. The campaign, themed 'A Little Less Is A Lot More,' focuses on educating residents about their water usage, setting usage baselines, and encouraging simple, actionable steps. Key strategies include promoting a one-minute daily faucet shut-off (potentially saving 50,000 gallons daily city-wide), highlighting efficient household usage targets (55 gallons per person/day, excluding irrigation), and showcasing city efforts like smart metering and reduced watering times. Incentives such as contests with gift card prizes and a water pledge program are planned to encourage participation. Mailers and social media will disseminate information. Councilmembers noted the program's importance due to drought conditions and rising water costs, with one member emphasizing the imperative for water conservation given projected population growth and limited new reservoir construction.

Councilmember Heyman reported on the development of the Point (former prison site), with groundbreaking for vertical construction imminent. Mayor Brocker highlighted a concern about weeds in medians on 126 South, pending UDOT permit approval, and provided an update on the 4th of July event preparations, including volunteer efforts and firework restrictions due to fire risk.
