A new series of reports published by the Utah Foundation, detail how Utahns are paying for water in an arid state. The report shows that there at least 308 public water suppliers in Utah and the fact that the population is expected to double over the next 40 years, the managing of this vital resource becomes even more important. On KVNU’s For the People program on Wednesday, Peter Reichard of the Utah Foundation talked about how this report was done.
“Well this is actually the result of a deep dive over many months looking at the ins and outs of all of the water providers across our state. As you mentioned, we do have 308 of them. Some of them are really quite small, so you can’t think about 308 equal size suppliers. But obviously there was a lot of research to, kind of, delve in and see how each of these, how they pay for their water”, he said.
