    Another Utah city joins the growing — but costly — wastewater reuse bandwagon (opens the original)

    Excerpt · English

    Read excerpt

    As cities across the West face megadroughts, warming climates and growing populations, reusing more of the water that goes down the drain starts to sound pretty good. The technology to clean and recycle sewage is not new. Big cities such as Las Vegas and Phoenix have employed it for years. Now with historically dry weather and brewing water fights, even smaller communities are taking a closer look. That includes southwest Utah's Cedar City, population 41,400. "I would say we're behind the times,

    Utah’s increasingly dry, warm weather could mess with leaf peepers’ fall colors (opens the original)

    Excerpt · Critical tone · English

    Read excerpt

    There’s a chill in Utah’s air. But the past year’s historically warm, dry weather may have already taken some of the shine off leaf-peeping season. “It'll be what it'll be — meaning mediocre at best,” said Theresa Crimmins, director of the USA National Phenology Network, which tracks and researches seasonal changes in plants nationwide. “It's probably not your best leaf color season this year.” The changing climate, which scientists agree is driven by fossil fuel emissions, can impact fall folia

    Utah national parks have a $350M maintenance backlog. The Trump admin isn’t helping (opens the original)

    Excerpt · English

    Read excerpt

    The maintenance backlog at Utah’s Mighty 5 national parks has more than doubled in the past decade. It now exceeds $350 million — up from $173.8 million in 2015 — according to reports from the National Park Service. When you factor in all the National Park Service sites wholly or partially in Utah — from Glen Canyon at Lake Powell to Timpanogos Cave — the increase is even larger. The backlog for those combined parks jumped 123% from 2015 to 2025. It stands at $828.3 million. The totals reflect h

    Will Mother Nature (and El Niño) make up for last year’s lousy Utah winter? (opens the original)

    Excerpt · English

    Read excerpt

    Utah’s last winter was one to forget. Record-low snowpack dinged the state’s ski industry, fueled drought and zapped water supplies. But as next winter approaches, hope springs eternal. “We will not have another winter like last winter. It was a big anomaly,” said Tom Pettigrew, general manager at Brian Head Resort in southwest Utah. This year, Brian Head is shooting for Utah’s earliest opening date — Nov. 6. The resort plans to begin its season a couple of weeks sooner than last year and is alr

    Utah officials are reducing risks as state experiences record-breaking heat (opens the original)

    Excerpt · English

    Read excerpt

    As if Utah's historically warm winter and spring weren't enough, summer temperatures sent the state's thermometers through the roof. From Provo and Lehi to Duchesne and Monticello, communities across Utah experienced their warmest summers on record. Laketown, near Bear Lake, broke its summer heat record that had stood since 1919. Bryce Canyon and Capitol Reef national parks also smashed their seasonal records, along with Dinosaur National Monument. Salt Lake City's summer average wasn't record-b
