Salt Lake County Mayor Jenny Wilson announced more than $1 million in grants to several cities to help convert grass to more water-efficient landscaping.
WEST JORDAN —
"If we just do these little things, and enough people do these little things, it ends up making a big difference," he said. "And that is amazingly important." The grants will use funding from the American Rescue Plan Act, and will cover conversion of turf on municipal property. They will be distributed through the Integrated Water Conservation and Land Use Municipal Partnership, made up of Salt Lake County, Jordan Valley Water Conservancy District and the Utah League of Cities and Towns.
West Jordan Mayor Dick Burton operates an excavator during a press conference announcing grants for the conversion of grass fields at the West Jordan City Hall on Thursday. "With all the we got this past year, everybody's thinking we're out of the problem," he said. "We're not, but we will be if we don't keep using water. We use it and nature replenishes it.
