Knowledge: We can't afford to encourage MORE irrigation during a 26-year-long mega-drought.

PLEASE HELP SAVE OUR LITTLE LOGAN RIVER's green spaces and recreation 

Our Rivers and the collapsing Great Salt Lake need your help

YOU can still stop the wildly expensive and destructive Logan River Watershed Project (LRWP).

PLEASE OPPOSE THE LRWP and urge sponsors to lease their unused water right to the Great Salt Lake instead

EVERY residence in Logan, North Logan and Hyde Park will be required to pay a monthly fee-regardless of whether irrigation
services their property.

LOGAN RIVER WATERSHED PROJECT AIMS to spend our tax money 

($309 million to install, 2 million a year to manage, plus over 50 years!!!!) 

to secure THEIR water right 

by adding new urban users of 

Logan River's water.  

In essence, this project asks all of us to pay for a benefit that only a small portion of the community gets.  

About 30% may opt in but what portion of the community will want to do so?

We found zero surveys of demand for pressurized irrigation water among potential users.

We found zero surveys of public views on the prospect of zero water in our rivers and parks in the future. 

We found zero surveys of voter willingness to be charged for this project's catastrophic impacts.

This is during a time when 97% 0f Utah's population is living in moderate to extreme drought.  The Great Salt Lake needs every drop of unused river water to stop collapsing.

We recommend LEASING the unused water right to the GSL until it is needed in our community.

FAQ questions about the project show this goal clearly.

Water rights can be protected by leasing them to the Great Salt Lake.

This project is wildly and obscenely expensive.   Find out more here.
