Bear River Watershed Council Information Meeting
Wednesday December 7 at 2:00 p.m at the Cache Events Center 450 S 500 W Logan, we will be holding an informational meeting about the Bear River Watershed council and begin the process of getting stakeholders involved in setting this council up. You can go to the link below for more information about HB 166 and the watershed councils act. We hope to see you there, feel free to invite others that may be interested.

In 2020, the Utah Legislature passed the Watershed Councils Act, (H.B. 166) which authorized and directed the Division of Water Resources to create the Utah Watersheds Council (a state council) and twelve local watershed councils. The intent of the Act is to “develop diverse and balanced stakeholder forums for discussion of water policy and resource issues at watershed and state levels that are not vested with regulatory, infrastructure financing, or enforcement powers or responsibilities.”
