Water Conservation
Water is a precious resource in Utah's arid desert climate. 91¶ÌÊÓƵ is working to conserve water and to enhance water handling on campus for cleaner, safer water for everyone.
What We've Done
- Weber won the 2017 H2Oath competition with the most number of pledges (beating USU by merely 32 pledges!) to reduce water usage at home and on campus.
- Water bottle refill stations have been installed in nearly every building on campus to reduce the need for single-use water bottles on campus.
- Weber has updated our stormwater management plan to improve water quality.
What You Can Do
- Fix pipe, faucet, and toilet leaks at home to prevent wasting of water and money resources.
- Don't water your lawn during the day so the water can reach the roots of the grass before evaporating. This will make the grass healthier and stronger, thereby requiring less water.
- Dispose of hazardous liquid waste such as detergents and car lubricants safely and properly to improve the health of our drainage systems and rivers.
- If you see something going into the stormwater drain that shouldn't be, or if you have a question about the stormwater management plan, contact Drew Hodge at drewhodge@weber.edu.
