Major Utah Groundwater Project Features State's Deepest Wells

摘要

A major well field being developed by the Central Utah Water Conservancy District promises to boost water supplies to communities in southern Salt Lake County and northern Utah County. Groundwater from the well field is eventually expected to account for roughly 80 percent of the drinking water provided by a $325-million project that the district plans to begin operating this summer. To access the groundwater, the district has had to construct what are believed to be among the deepest wells ever drilled in Utah for the purposes of providing drinking water.
