The Salt Lake Chamber is asking businesses to take the Water Champion H2Oath to conserve water.
The state of Utah is experiencing a record dry year with temperatures soaring past normal. Soil moisture reached exceptionally low levels not previously seen since soil moisture monitoring began in 2006, and low soil moisture has already adversely affected the spring runoff. The state’s reservoir storage has decreased, along with forecasts for the spring runoff.
The Salt Lake Chamber and Utah’s business community acknowledge that water is our most precious natural resource. We recognize that how we manage water today will affect nearly every aspect of our future. We acknowledge that Utah is experiencing an unprecedented drought, and we all need to do our part to protect and efficiently use the water supply. We know that the water supply is not endless, and it is important for us all to change our behavior patterns to conserve this essential resource. Additionally, the dry vegetative conditions have contributed to an increased and prolonged threat of wildfire across the state.
We ask for your support to address water conservation in Utah by taking the H2Oath, Utah’s Water-Wise Pledge.
By taking the Water Champion H2Oath, your business pledges to:
We are confident that with these processes in place and supported by a statewide collective effort, we can successfully navigate this drought and emerge more effective than ever before when it comes to our water stewardship.
