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 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 28, 2002, and they shall be in effect for the remainder
of the 2002 distribution season.
