Gov. Cox promotes bills aimed at water conservation and saving the Great Salt Lake
On Tuesday, the governor said the good news is the state is in 7% drought and lake levels have risen thanks to an amazing snowpack. Now, the state is on guard for flooding.
The Great Salt Lake has risen nearly four feet as of Monday. But it is still six feet below what is considered a healthy level. But Gov. Cox said legislation like those he was calling attention to are designed to help Utah in the long-term. "The agricultural infrastructure from water is ancient in our state," he told FOX 13 News."It’s time that we invest the future of agriculture, the future of Utah."
There are also bills to expand incentives to persuade Utahns to ditch nonfunctional turf in their yards in favor of desert-friendly landscaping, and prohibiting HOAs from requiring lush, green lawns.
