We started with a couple hundred customers and one employee, now we have 19 employees and cover an area greater than that of the Northern Salt Lake Valley (over 25,000 acres). We are a true regional water entity that has complex interconnected water systems spanning much of Western Summit County (Snyderville Basin), all carefully engineered to improve the quality of water and service.
