About me
Utah Shared Stewardship partners with agencies, entities, and organizations to actively mitigate the impacts of catastrophic wildfire on a landscape scale, with the express purpose of protecting communities and watersheds. Utah Water Conservancy District (CUWCD) manages the Central Utah Project (CUP) and District network of water facilities to ensure citizens and businesses along the Wasatch Front receive clean, reliable water. Operating three water treatment facilities, two hydroelectric plants, nine reservoirs, and overseeing water supply to eight counties, CUWCD recognizes the vulnerabilities of our water infrastructure and the need for collaborative watershed management. This presentation will highlight both the impact severe wildfires can have on water treatment facilities and the need for collaborative wildfire management to maintain Utah’s current water quality and quantity.
