Central Utah Water Conservancy District
Central Utah Water's primary responsibility is to deliver clean, usable water to our customers by managing the vast CUP and District network of water facilities. Every day we work to maintain and improve those facilities. We monitor and track precipitation levels and make decisions on how best to serve current customers and store water for future generations. The District is proud of its role in managing the water in its jurisdiction and using technology, intelligence and hard work to ensure the best possible balance for man and nature.

Jordan Valley Water Conservancy District
Primarily a wholesaler of water to cities and improvement districts within Salt Lake County, Jordan Valley Water Conservancy District is a political subdivision of the State of Utah and one of the largest water districts in the state. It was created in 1951 under the Water Conservancy Act and was called the Salt Lake County Water Conservancy District until 1999.
Jordan Valley Water is governed by a board of nine trustees who represent eight geographical divisions. They are nominated either by the Salt Lake County Council or a city council, depending upon the division they represent. The Governor then appoints Trustees for a 4-year term from those nominated.

We also have a very high standard of living where we feel safe and free to pursue the pleasures of life. Many of the services that Public Works provides contribute directly to this end. Through your willingness to support high quality parks, playgrounds, ball fields, transportation systems, drinking water systems, water reclamation services, flood control facilities, cemetery, etc., we receive many valuable benefits that enhance our quality of life

Metropolitan Water District of Provo
The Water Distribution Section of Water Resources is responsible for those facilities which distribute drinking water from the City's distribution reservoirs or tanks to the homes and businesses within the community. 
This work includes the installation and maintenance of water distribution mains, valves, fire hydrants, water service lines, and meters. This work is almost always associated with excavation in street or immediately adjacent to streets and includes the repair of water main and service line breaks which may occur in the street or in yards, the replacement of meter box lids which may be missing or broken, frozen water pipes, fire hydrants leaking or damaged, and any problems associated with waterline construction or maintenance.

Wasatch County
Wasatch County has a total area of 1,206 square miles, of which 1,175 square miles is land and 30 square miles (2.5%) is water. Even though the land taken up by water is small, Wasatch County takes water quality and quantity seriously.  The County was one of the founding partners in the Provo River Watershed Council (formerly known as Jordanelle Technical Advisory Committee or JTAC). Many rules and ordinances within Wasatch County are written to protect the precious resource. Three major reservoirs are located within the County.  As of the 2010 census, the population was 23,530. Its county seat and largest city is Heber City. Other major towns are Midway, Charleston, Daniels, and Hideout.  The county was named for a Ute Indian word meaning mountain pass or low place in the high mountains.

Utah Division of Water Quality
The Utah Division of Water Quality (DWQ) manages and enforces water quality policy and regulations within the state. Two programs of importance to the Provo River Watershed Council is the Watershed Management Program and the Water Quality Monitoring Program.  The Watershed Management Program is focused on protecting and restoring the water quality of our streams, lakes and ground water resources by employing the following key elements: Stewardship, Monitoring and Assessment, Coordination and Watershed Planning. The DWQ is the contract manager for the Provo River Watershed Council.
