• Jackson Flat Reservoir

    On November 1st local farmers shut down irrigation to their fields and diverted their irrigation water into the newly completed Jackson Reservoir which is filling with a 24-inch supply line from the upper Kanab Irrigation system.  The reservoir is currently filling at a rate of nine acre-feet per day or 2.9 million gallons of water per day (an acre-foot is about the size of one football field covered with one foot of water). There is currently 182 acre-feet of water in the reservoir. The total storage capacity is 4,228 acre-feet of water, or 1.38 billion gallons of water.

  • Zion View Mountains Estates

    Construction will continue throughout the fall depending on snow.  The project will bring a state approve culinary water system to over 700 lots in the area.  The proposal includes a 350,000 gallon storage facility, 20 miles of 6″ to 12″ water supply lines throughout the subdivision and a 5 mile transmission line beginning at the west end of Strawberry Valley.

  • Johnson Canyon Well #3 GSENM

    The District is currently installing five miles of 12″ HDPE pipe from a newly drilled well under white cliffs of the Grand Staircase-Escalante National Monument to the existing Johnson Canyon water system. The new well has water that is pure, protected from contaminates and high flows. This is the best well Kane County Water Conservancy District has ever proved upon with an initial test pump sustained for 72 hours at 980 GPM with a 70 foot drawdown. The depth of the well is 600 ft reaching into the Navajo aquifer where the water has been purified by traveling through miles of filtering sandstone.

  • #ShingleFire

    Fire officials say it consumed 8,200 acres.

    Thanks to the backup generators from Washington City, KCWCD was able to produce over a million gallons of water during the two day power outage for fire suppression. We are appreciative to the homeowners in the Duck Creek Area who minimized their water use in an effort to help provide a reliable water supply to firefighters.

  • Cedar Mountain

    Swains Creek Pond

    Prior to 2000, all water companies on Cedar Mountain either hauled water or accessed unreliable wells and local springs which would often times dry up in the summer or freeze in the winter.

    KCWCD now supplies the Duck Creek area on Cedar Mountain with clean, reliable, year-round culinary water that meets fire suppression code, and Division of Drinking Water and Environmental Protection Agency standards.

    KCWCD Board Meeting Schedule, 2013



    Kane County Water Conservancy District was organized for the purpose of conserving and developing water for the beneficial use both domestically, and agriculturally within Kane County. KCWCD is entrusted to provide and plan for future water needs. We intend to design, finance, and construct: reservoirs, pipelines, water distribution systems, wells, drainage areas, and other improvements as necessary to utilize water supplies within Kane County for the benefit of its citizens. We currently supply water to nearly 3,000 residential and commercial users in the Duck Creek and Johnson Canyon areas. We have also constructed a reservoir and pipelines to help conserve and distribute irrigation water.
