Spanish Fork

Adding capacity for peak demand with smart irrigation

Spanish Fork’s water system experiences peak daily demand at 5 a.m. and 10 p.m. As the City continues to grow, this peak demand is expected to exceed the capacity of the City’s current water system. This lead city leaders and staff to take a conservation-first approach and extend the current system’s capacity without purchasing additional costly water rights or new reservoirs. The City’s conservation efforts were also driven by Spanish Fork’s desire to not only meet but exceed Utah’s statewide goal of reducing water use by 25% by 2025.

To address these water conservation challenges, in 2018 Spanish Fork started its program to provide residents with free, professionally installed smart irrigation controllers. Download the full case study to learn more about Spanish Fork’s program.
