JOIN THE WATER CONSERVATION CULTURE

It is time to change our ways! The Lake Powell Pipeline is on hold, and in the face of climate change it is unlikely that it will ever be built. The response to the megadrought is right at our fingertips: water conservation. CSU is committed to building a water conservation culture right here in Southwest Utah.

WATER – THE LAKE POWELL PIPELINE and CONSERVATION

CSU advocates water conservation policies and has developed considerable evidence indicating the Lake Powell Pipeline is not necessary to support our growth, is very risky, and will be a huge drag on family, city and county budgets. A less costly, less risky alternative to the Lake Powell Pipeline is being ignored. Local water resources will deliver water affordably and reliably, without burdening residents with unaffordable debt.

 PROTECTING PUBLIC LANDS

Washington County is one of the most scenic areas in the West. The beautiful open spaces and scenic vistas make Washington County a desirable place to visit and call home. Our region is home to many endangered and threatened animals and plants including the Mojave desert tortoise. There is constant pressure to develop these lands. We are the only local group advocating protection.
