Utah SB0252 mandates water conservation measures at state-owned facilities, including reduced water use and efficient irrigation systems.

Utah SB0252 amends water usage regulations for state-owned facilities, requiring state agencies to reduce outdoor water use by at least 5% by the end of fiscal year 2023 and by at least 25% by the end of fiscal year 2026. The bill mandates that no more than 20% of the grounds of a state government facility can be lawn or turf, with exceptions for certain features.
