Good point Jmor on water not getting to the GSL...even when people are conserving more. I don't remember what Gov Cox said about how much water Utahns "conserved" last year, but it was in the millions of gallons. Unfortunately, that water is largely not getting to the GSL...it's being "saved" for other development projects! Hardly the reason that the water was being conserved for in the first place.
I heard it well on another forum that really the only ways water is getting to the GSL right now are through the shiz canals or through the stormwater system. So either flush your toilets more or water your lawns excessively. Other than mother nature putting water directly into the system, these are about the only ways that water is getting to the lake. As such, there need to be major changes to how water is allocated. All that "saved" water that Gov Cox talked about should be mandated to go to the lake through targeted releases from our reservoir storage.. To this point, no such thing is happening.
