Continuing our exploration of Water Conservation and Solutions for Moab and Spanish Valley.

Hey, did you know we check Ken's Lake every week and put the info on our website for you? Well, now you do! Just head over to our Ken's Lake page and click on Lake and Snow Reports . There, you’ll see the current lake level and the amount of water stored in the lake. Ken's Lake hits "Max Capacity" at 5048. You can also see how much moisture is in the La Sal Mountains by clicking on any of the Snowtel data listed on the page. It's a handy document that shows the current and past moisture levels in the La Sals.

No, this is not an April Fools' joke. The Grand Water & Sewer Service Agency will start charging the lines for irrigation customers on April 1st, 2025. Be sure to inspect your water lines before this date and address any issues to prevent water waste. As mentioned earlier this year through online and text communication, the GWSSA Board has enforced a 30 percent usage reduction to help preserve water in the lake due to lesser snowfall during the winter. If this changes, we will let you know!

Follow this link to be taken to the MoabTimes.com , where journalist Doug McMurdo covered a recent Moab City Council meeting where GWSSA is requesting support with a diversion in the Colorado River to help rejuvenate the Matheson Wetlands Preserve. " “Historically, the Colorado River flooded the Matheson wetlands regularly,” said Musselman. “Those flooding events are much rarer because of drought and dams above Moab on the Colorado River and its tributaries. This project would move Colorado River water into critical parts of the wetlands like natural flooding used to do.” Long-term, the second criterion GWSSA hopes to meet is restoring streams that have experienced increased erosion because of drought. Once water from the Colorado River is pressurized and added to the Moab Irrigation Company’s system, more water would flow through Mill Creek.

GWSSA is excited to announce that there will be a new way for customers to fill their water. We are currently installing a fill station in the southwest corner of our property. This station is located OUTSIDE of our locked gate, which means you will be able to access this water outside of business hours. The system will have a pay station associated with it for transactions.
