The U.S. Bureau of Reclamation, Provo Area Office, in coordination with the U.S. Bureau of Land Management, St. George Field Office, has published a Draft Environmental Assessment (EA) for the Washington County Central Reuse System Project.

The project would deliver secondary irrigation water supplies and augment potable water supplies by conveying non-potable reuse to municipal and agricultural users in exchange for current outdoor irrigation sources. The source of the non-potable reuse is reclaimed water. For more information, please visit the project website at www.wcwcd.gov/centralreuseea/.
A 30-day public comment period on the Draft EA begins July 30, 2026, and ends August 28, 2026. Comments are best submitted via email to comments@baxterenvllc.com but can also be submitted via standard mail to Reclamation at the following address.
