Utah Lake Annual Amended Conversion Criteria
Updated: February 7, 2001
March 22, 1995
AMENDMENT
TO
INTERIM WATER DISTRIBUTION PLAN FOR THE UTAH LAKE DRAINAGE BASIN
The State Engineer received a request from the Central Utah Water
Conservancy District not to deliver water for this season under
water right numbers 57-7624, 59-14, 59-15 and 59-20. These water
rights are supplied from Utah Lake and/or Jordan River. The water
rights represent 25,000 acre-feet of primary rights and 57,073
acre-feet of secondary rights in Utah Lake. With this reduction in
the demand on Utah Lake, the criteria of when system storage can be
converted to priority storage needs to be modified accordingly.
Following are the modifications to Table 3, page 12, lines 8
through 16, inclusive, of the Interim Water Distribution Plan for
the Utah Lake Drainage Basin. The River Commissioners are hereby
directed to implement these modifications as of March 22, 1995, and
they shall be in effect for the remainder of the 1995 distribution
season.
