Water Resources Office Open with Limited Staff
The Division will have limited staff in the office during this unprecedented time. As Governor Herbert requested, many of our teams will be teleworking.
Our first priority is to serve the public. Before coming into our offices, we ask that you first please call (801) 538-7230. You can also reach out to our section managers directly. Contact information is listed here.
Coronavirus Not Transmitted Via Water Supply
Because water is such a critical resource, it makes sense that people get concerned at the thought of something like COVID-19 disrupting the water supply. But when it comes to the coronavirus, a shutdown of the public water system is unlikely.
According to health officials, COVID-19 is primarily transmitted person-to-person – there is no indication that transmission can occur via drinking water supplies. Public water systems treat and disinfect water by chlorinating it. This process kills multiple pathogens and water-borne viral infections (including coronavirus) that can affect your health. More information.
Stay safe, be kind and keep washing your hands.
