Drought Contingency Stage - Severe Drought D2

April 10, 2026

Current Drought Conditions:

SEVERE as of 04/09/2026

Effective 4/09/2026, the District has implemented a new rate structure and water restrictions in an effort to encourage conservation. While Bona Vista water provides your drinking water, not secondary water, the depletion of secondary water could adversely impact our drinking water supply. Conserving both indoors and outdoors is vital.

CURRENT RESTRICTIONS as of 04/09/2026

  • No landscape watering until May 1st for customers without secondary water
  • Customers with secondary water:
    • Must use secondary water only for irrigation.
    • Do NOT use culinary water, even if secondary water is temporarily unavailable.
    • This includes watering lawns, gardens, or landscapes.
    • Penalty: $100 fine per day, per incident.
  • Limit car washing. Use a bucket and a positive pressure nozzle on the end of the hose so that water is not running continuously.  Wash the vehicle on the lawn or any permeable surface to ‘reuse’ the water or consider visiting a car wash where the water is used more efficiently and, in some cases, even recycled. 
  • Do not hose down hard surfaces such as sidewalks or driveways except for health or safety. Use a broom or blower.

There are a very limited number of residential Bona Vista customers who are allowed to use culinary water for outside purposes.  These customers hooked up to the District’s system prior to secondary water being available in their area.  For these customers, we are asking that they adhere to Weber Basin Water’s drought standards as they are the Districts largest water supplier.  In addition to the restrictions listed above, restrictions for these customers will also include:

  • Shortened water season - No landscape watering until May 1st.

What is the difference between Culinary and Secondary water? 

Secondary is water that is simply piped and distributed “as is” from sources such as Pineview Reservoir.

Culinary is water from the same sources but is treated and cleaned so that it is safe for consumption.

We are imploring you to do your part and cut back on your water usage. It will take each of us doing our part to ensure we have enough culinary water to sustain our way of life. The District is continually reviewing forecasted runoff projections, soil moistures, SNOTEL data NOAA National Integrated Drought Systems and other pertinent information to ensure that water restrictions implemented are reflective of actual conditions. Rates and restrictions are subject to change based on the drought intensity as defined by the NOAA National Integrated Drought System.
