TAGE FLINT

At Weber Basin Water, we serve over 700,000 northern Utahns from a complex system of large reservoirs, pipelines, wells, hydropower stations, and treatment plants. We lead the state in implementing new secondary water meter technology. The district oversees the collection of hourly usage data from over 12,000 secondary water meters. This data is seamlessly communicated back to our customers through utilization of an in-house developed customer portal. These types of innovative approaches will ensure efficient use of our finite water supplies which are critical to Utah’s future.

Weber Basin Water completed its new Water Efficiency Research Center in Layton, Utah. Open 8 am to 8 pm every day, it is an opportunity to view landscape design to help you with your yard and to learn to use less water. Please stop in for a free and fun visit. Thank you to our employees for their incredible service over the last 15 months. We look forward to serving northern Utahns for many decades to come.
