Citations begin January 1, 2026🏠 HOA Rules During Restrictions
Utah law (SB 152, 2022) prohibits HOAs from penalizing homeowners for replacing turf with water-wise landscaping.
If your homeowners association sends a violation notice for a dormant or brown lawn during the current restriction period, respond in writing citing the applicable law and include a copy of the West Jordan City Utilities's current restriction order. Most HOAs will rescind the notice once they are made aware of the legal protections in place. If the issue persists, contact your county’s code enforcement division for assistance.
Why These Restrictions Exist
West Jordan receives its water supply from Jordan Valley Water Conservancy District, which depends on mountain reservoirs and the Jordan River system. With 98% of Utah in drought and 2025–2026 snowpack at record lows, the district’s storage levels are well below seasonal averages. The Jordan River, which flows through the western Salt Lake Valley, has seen dramatically reduced flows that threaten both municipal and agricultural users. West Jordan’s growing population places additional pressure on an already strained water supply.
This deficit has accumulated over the current water year and represents a significant departure from historical averages for the West Jordan area. Water supply reservoirs and aquifer levels are well below seasonal targets, necessitating mandatory conservation measures.
How to Keep Your Lawn Alive During West Jordan Water Restrictions
4 tips tailored for West Jordan homeowners during Year-Round Ordinance + Drought Advisory restrictions.
Water deeply (0.75 inches per session) on your three allowed days to encourage deep root growth in Kentucky Bluegrass.
Convert parking strips to water-wise landscaping using the Localscapes approach promoted by Jordan Valley Water Conservancy District.
Mow at 3–3.5 inches to shade the soil and reduce evaporation in Utah’s arid climate.
Use a cycle-and-soak method on Salt Lake Valley’s clay soils: run each zone for 5 minutes, wait 30 minutes, then repeat to prevent runoff.
