WE NEED YOUR HELP!

In 2021 the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) revised and finalized changes to the Lead and Copper rule.  Part of these changes require water systems to conduct and maintain location-based Lead Service Line (LSL) inventories, as well as to develop plan and replacement goals based on those inventories.  This inventory is required to be completed by October 16, 2024.


Ashley Valley Water and Sewer Improvement District has started the inventory process by reviewing construction records, capital project as-builts, and county records to discover homes that were built when the plumbing code still allowed lead lines.


Our initial review has determined that roughly 50% of the existing connections in the district were built after LSLs were banned from the International Plumbing Code amended by Utah Code.  This still means that there are thousands of lines that need to be surveyed and verified before the deadline.


This is where you come in.  We need your help to verify your service line as it enters your home.  We have developed an easy to submit survey that you can reach by scanning the QR code on the right of this page.  Additionally you can visit  https://arcg.is/1LH0u00 to fill out the survey. 


Please responds as soon as possible so we can submit the inventory before the due date in October 2024.  If you are unsure the pipe material in your service line, the following link provides some information to help you make that determination.  https://www.lslr-collaborative.org/identifying-service-line-material.html


Thank you in advance from everyone at the district.  This is a monumental task, but working together we can ensure that we have an accurate inventory which will allow us to remove those LSLs if needed.



Watering Wisely Begins with You!

  


Recommendations on how to Use Water Wisely

Check your toilet for leaks: A leak in your toilet may be wasting more than 100 gallons of water a day. To check, put a little food coloring in your toilet tank. If, without flushing, the coloring begins to appear in the bowl, you have a leak. Adjust or replace the flush valve or call a plumber.

Do not use your toilet as an ashtray or wastebasket: Every time you flush a cigarette butt, facial tissue, or other bits of trash down the toilet, you waste five to seven gallons of water.

Put two plastic bottles in your toilet tank: Your toilet can flush just as efficiently with less water than it now uses. To cut down water waste, put an inch or two of sand or pebbles in two separate plastic quart bottles to weigh them down. Fill them with water, replace the lid, and put them in your toilet tank, safely away from the operating mechanisms. Better yet, replace your old toilet with a new low-flow toilet. They are readily available in a variety of styles and colors.

Take shorter showers: Long hot showers waste five to ten gallons of water every unneeded minute. Limit your showers to the time it takes to soap up, wash down and rinse off.

Install water-saving shower heads or flow restrictors: Most shower heads put out five to ten gallons of water a minute, while three gallons is enough for a refreshing cleansing shower. Your local hardware or plumbing supply store stocks inexpensive water-saving shower heads that you can install yourself. For even less money, you can purchase a small plastic insert that will limit flow through your present shower head.

Turn off the water after you wet your toothbrush: After you have wet your toothbrush and filled a glass for rinsing your mouth, there is no need to keep water pouring down the drain.

Rinse your razor in the sink: Before shaving, partially fill your sink with a few inches of warm water. Use this water to rinse your razor blade as opposed to running the water.

Check faucets and pipes for leaks: Even the smallest drip from a worn washer can waste 50 or more gallons of water a day. Larger leaks can waste hundreds.

Use your automatic dishwasher only for full loads: Every time you run your dishwasher; you use about 25 gallons of water.

If you wash dishes by hand, do not leave the water running for rinsing: If you have two sinks, fill one with soapy water and one with rinse water. If you have but one sink, gather all the washed dishes in the dish rack and rinse them with an inexpensive spray device.

Do not let the faucet run while you clean vegetables: You can serve the same purpose by putting a stopper in the sink and filling the sink with clean water.

Keep a bottle of drinking water in the refrigerator: This ends the wasteful practice of running tap water to cool it off for drinking.

Use your automatic washing machine only for full loads: Your automatic washer uses 30 to 35 gallons of water in a cycle.

Plant drought-resistant trees and plants: There are many beautiful trees and plants that thrive in Utah with far less watering than other species.

Put a layer of mulch around trees and plants: A layer of mulch can slow the evaporation of moisture.

Use a broom to clean driveways, sidewalks, and steps: Using a hose to clean driveways wastes water needlessly.

Do not run the hose while washing your car: Soap down your car with a pail of soapy water. Then use a hose just to rinse it off.

Teach your children that your hose and sprinklers are not toys: There are a few things more cheerful than the sound of happy children playing under a hose or sprinkler on a hot day. Unfortunately, this is an easy way to waste water.

Water your lawn only when it needs it: A good way to see if your lawn needs watering is to step on some grass. If the grass springs back up when you move, it does not need water.

Deep soak your lawn: When you do water your lawn, do it just long enough for water to seep down to the roots where it will not evaporate quickly and where it will do the best. A light sprinkling which sits on the surface, will simply evaporate, and be wasted. A slow steady fall of water is the best way to irrigate your lawn.

Simple steps for a healthier lawn and to save money: Raise the height of your lawn mower to 3+” and add more days between watering. Check and repair any sprinkler heads that are leaking or tilting to the side. Add a pressure reducer to your sprinkler system.

Water during the cool parts of the day: Early morning is better than dusk since it helps prevent the growth of fungus. Try to avoid watering between 10:00 a.m. and 6:00 p.m.

Do not water the gutter: Position your sprinklers in such a way that water lands on your lawn or garden, not on concrete, where it does no good. Avoid watering on windy days when much of your water may be carried off before it ever hits the ground.

Check for leaks in pipes, hoses, faucets, and couplings: Leaks outside have the potential to be as wasteful, if not more, as leaks inside, often going unnoticed for longer periods of time.

About Us

Our History

Ashley Valley Water & Sewer Improvement District is a local district formed by Uintah County to furnish water and sewer service to the unincorporated area outside Vernal City including incorporated Naples City. It was formed in 1974 under title 17, chapter 6 Utah Code. In 1982 it began to operate and service the area outside the city, this area was formally operated by Vernal City and Naples City. The original water system was built in 1962 by the Bureau of Reclamation as part of the Central Utah Water Steinaker Project, and the lines put in by Naples and Glines before 1962. The service area covers from 3300 north to 5800 south and 3500 west to 3500 east, an area of 9 miles by 7 miles and just over 160 miles of potable water line. The sewer system was built in 1982 as part of an EPA project. Ashley Valley Water & Sewer, Vernal City and Maeser Water Improvement District built lagoons and a joint sewer lagoon system, later replaced by an oxidation ditch treatment plant. Ashley Valley currently has over 3,400 sewer connections and over 5,000 water connections.
