Our Growing Need

The goal of the Nebo Regional Water Project is to provide safe and reliable water delivery by replacing and modifying aging canal infrastructure to meet the diverse and growing water demands in southern Utah County and eastern Juab County.

This collaborative effort involves multiple stakeholders, including federal agencies, state departments, irrigation companies, local municipalities, and community organizations to ensure a comprehensive approach to water resource management.

  • Maximize Efficiency

    Enhancing, modifying and replacing the aging canal system would prevent water loss from seepage and evaporation — making the most of our limited water supply.
  • Improve Public Safety

    Enclosing the Strawberry High Line Canal in a pipeline would help reduce the risk of flooding and other safety concerns caused by aging infrastructure — improving public safety for nearby neighborhoods.
  • Modernize Water System

    Providing a more efficient and versatile water delivery system would support current agricultural demands as well as future diverse needs in southern Utah County and eastern Juab County.
  • Improve Water Quality

    Pressurizing and enclosing the canal would provide cleaner water for more efficient operations — enhancing water quality while reducing maintenance needs and service interruptions.

Project Process

To address increasing water demands and public safety in south Utah County and east Juab County, the Nebo Regional Water Project is focused on making improvements to aging infrastructure, adding efficiencies to the water system, and modernizing the water system. An environmental process following the National Environmental Policy Act (NEPA) is currently underway to evaluate the proposed improvements and determine any impacts.
