Outdoor Watering Guidelines

As a reminder, there is no outdoor watering allowed between the hours of 10 a.m. to 6 p.m. daily, and we will also be implementing the watering schedule of odd/even. If your home address is an odd number you can water on odds days of the month, if your address is an even number, you can water on even days of the month. This is to help maintain the pressure in the system. 

Utah officially declared a state of emergency due to the dire drought conditions here in Utah. What can you do to help conserve water? Every small effort makes a big difference.

Visit https://slowtheflow.org for easy ways that you can water wisely. On the website you can apply for water conservation rebates, review a list of indoor and outdoor water conservation tips, and follow the weekly lawn watering guide by the Utah Division of Water Resources.

Pressurized Irrigation

Salem City will begin energizing the pressurized irrigation lines beginning Monday, May 9th.  We will be flushing and testing the lines and we ask that you do not use the system for at least a few days (with the rain/snow we received Sunday night and with colder weather this week, there should not be a need to water lawns for a while).  As the system is being energized, make sure your main pressurized irrigation valve is in the closed position to avoid unnecessary flooding while the city-wide system is energized.  We also ask that you keep an eye on your PI boxes, as we had many PI meters installed over the winter months.   If you see a leak in your PI boxes, please contact the city office (801-423-2770).  When you begin using the PI system, we ask that you find ways to water wise (you can visit slow the flow website for many ideas, and watering guide https://slowtheflow.org/).     As a reminder, there is no watering allowed between the hours of 10 a.m. to 6 p.m. daily. Thank you!

Installation of Pressurized Irrigation Meters

Starting Sept. 28^th 2020 Salem City will have our water crew starting the install of PI Meters on each PI service in town. This install will happen starting now and over the next year.  You will notice two to four City employees working in your PI box.  They will leave your box upgraded with a meter and landscape repairs.  Most upgrades take one to two business days from start to finish. 

This project will take approximately one year to complete.  After the installation is complete the City will begin developing a rate structure and establish an estimated date to start billing for usage.  The City will notify customers when they can expect to see the new PI rate structure on their utility bill.
