Due to the COVID-19 pandemic and the associated safety guidelines put in place by the CDC, the State of Utah, and local health departments, Board of Water Resources meetings will be closed to in-person attendance and will be conducted electronically until further notice. As approved by Utah Governor Gary Herbert through Executive Order 2020-5, this format will be used instead of the in-person public meetings that usually occur.
