Governor Spencer Cox

Utah Governor Spencer Cox released the third chapter of Utah’s Coordinated Action Plan for Water on Wednesday, which aims to balance water conservation, agriculture and state growth.

With Utah and other western states entering their 22nd year of below-average precipitation, Utah has been criticized for being one of the western US’s highest water consumers per capita.

In his last monthly news conference of 2021, Governor Cox addressed water infrastructure improvements, school violence intervention and urged Utahns to get vaccinated before the holidays.
