Project Grant
Overview
Grant Description
Weber Basin Water Conservancy District (WBWCD), located in Box Elder County, Utah, will construct a new outlet delivery conduit through the earthen dam, install a new delivery conduit, and establish a 33.3 kW solar array on their Weber South Water Treatment Plant.
Extreme drought has affected WBWCD's ability to deliver water out of Willard Bay through a 45-year-old siphon system to industrial and environmental water users. Through implementation of this project, WBWCD will provide access to an additional 50,000 acre-feet of water not previously available with the current system and will generate 64,000 kWh of power annually to offset WBWCD energy needs.
The project was identified as a high priority in the district's drought contingency plan that was developed by WBWCD with assistance from a WaterSmart Drought Contingency Planning Grant.
