Introduction and Project Overview
The Bureau of Reclamation and Bureau of Land Management, on behalf of the U.S. Department of the Interior, plan to develop a Draft Environmental Assessment for the Washington County Central Reuse System, in accordance with the National Environmental Policy Act of 1969.
The Central Reuse System will serve the communities of Washington County in southwest Utah. The project would deliver secondary irrigation water supplies and augment potable water supplies by conveying non-potable reuse to municipal and agricultural users in exchange for current outdoor irrigation sources. The source of the non-potable reuse is reclaimed water.
The Central Reuse System is disconnected from and independent of the proposed Eastside Reuse System, which is being evaluated in a separate NEPA process. Both projects will ultimately contribute to Washington County’s overarching Regional Reuse Purification System.
