3.1.1 JORDAN VALLEY WATER CONSERVANCY DISTRICT SUPPLY

JVWCD provides water to multiple entities throughout the Salt Lake Valley, including the City of West Jordan. The City's contracted supply amount is equal to 20,000 acre-ft per year which the City takes year-round. Historically, JVWCD has allowed the City (and all its customers) to purchase additional water in any given year of up to 20 percent above its contract amount. If this additional purchase option is included, the total volume of water available from JVWCD is 24,000 acre-ft/year. Table 3-1 summarizes the City's existing connections to the JVWCD system.

In the past, JVWCD has always been able to deliver the full amount of the City's contract, even in drought years. However, JVWCD has recently updated its Drought Contingency Plan to include drought mitigation and response actions for each community within its service area. This will be discussed further in Chapter 4.
