OLD METER READERS TO BE REPLACED BY NEW AMI READERS IN 2024-2025Davis and Weber Counties Canal Company is improving our secondary water system. If you have a meter that was installed before 2022, the radio transmitter was a Itron reader. This allowed DWC to drive the system and get meter readings. The Itron system has become obsolete and a new AMI radio that sends out a signal to a tower that reads automatically will be installed. If you have an Itron reader you will not receive monthly e-mails this year (2024). We are hoping to have the new radios installed for the 2025 water year. We are also working towards a user portal in the future.

SECONDARY WATER IS DIFFERENT FROM DRINKING WATER AND SHOULD ONLY BE USED TO WATER YARDS. DRINKING OR PLAYING IN SECONDARY WATER CAN MAKE YOU SICK!In light of recent health concerns related to secondary water usage, the Utah Department of Health and Human Services is issuing an urgent safety alert and launching SecondaryWater.utah.gov to raise awareness about the potential health risks associated with secondary water. If you have questions about secondary water safety, please call the Utah Department of Health and Human Services at 801-538-6191 or email epi@utah.gov Secondary Metering Projects as per State LawLegislation passed by the Utah State Legislature in 2022 requires all secondary water connections in Utah to be metered by 2030.

2025 Water SeasonThe current water year is not looking promising, but winter isn't over yet. We hope the snowpack continues to build and that we'll have a good runoff in the spring to fill the reservoirs. The February forecast predicts runoff at 67% or normal, with warmer and drier conditions expected over the next couple of months. As always, we ask that you continue to use secondary water wisely so we can meet current demands and maintain sufficient storage in the river system for next year.
We continue to encourage efficient water use and conservation wherever possible. Please adjust your watering schedule based on weather conditions, referencing the state website http://www.conservewaterlutah.gov/ . We ask that you water no more than twice a week from April to June and September to October, and no more than three times a week in July and August (the hotter months). We may implement stricter drought restrictions if conditions do not improve. If you're interested in rebates for smart controllers and other water-efficient fixtures, visit https://utahwatersavers.com/ . The state requires meters on all new secondary water services, and we are retrofitting thousands of existing services with meters. For mor information, visit https://utahwatermetering.com/ . We are also in the process of replacing older meter radios with newer models for more efficient data collection. Water use reports are being sent to those with meters to help educate end users and better manage our limited water resources. Please contact us at meters@davisweber.org and provide an email address so we can send you monthly reports. We are in the final stages of setting up water user portals, and further information will be shared as it becomes available-hopefully before the water season begins. Check our website davisweber.org , for updates or restrictions. Remember to ensure your system is secure and ready for service by March 31st, before we pressurize the system. Depending on the storms and water availability, we may delay filling the system; often, there is no need to water until May |
