Utah Water Facts

Water Is Becoming
More Valuable.

Utah is in a prolonged drought. The Great Salt Lake is shrinking. And yet, every time it rains, hundreds of gallons of free water roll off your roof and disappear into the ground. Here's what you need to know.

Utah Law

How Much Water Are We Allowed to Store?

A lot more than you'd think.

Utah State law (Utah Code 73-3-1.5) allows rain catchment storage up to 2,500 gallons. Most standard rain barrels are only 50–100 gallons, meaning you have room for a serious, meaningful system. The old myth that collecting rainwater is illegal in Utah is simply untrue.

Legislation was passed over a decade ago explicitly allowing it, and it makes good common sense. The more water we all collect and save, the less stress it puts on our already dwindling lakes, rivers, and water treatment facilities. Read: Water in Utah Is Becoming More Valuable

"Slow the flow, save H₂O." It's not just a slogan, it's a practical response to a real and growing water scarcity problem across the Wasatch Front. Our rainwater collection systems are designed to make this easy for any homeowner. View our pricing to see what a system costs.

Up to 2,500 gallons, legally, right now.
Drought Reality

A Very Inconvenient Fact: We're in a Prolonged Drought.

The Great Salt Lake is drying up.

To the naked eye, the Great Salt Lake appears to be about half its once-glorious levels from 30 years ago. With the nation's fastest-growing population and reservoirs dropping by multiple feet each year, the pressure on Utah's water supply is real and accelerating.

Eventually, every Utahn will benefit from a rain catchment system, whether that's 1 year or 100 years from now. The wise ones will have their systems installed before a crisis happens, not in reaction to one. Read more about Utah's water future

A human can survive only 3 days without water. Our systems hold between 50 and 2,500 gallons of fresh rainwater that automatically replenishes itself. Isn't it just a good idea to have on hand, just in case?

Plan ahead, not in reaction to a crisis.
Rainfall Data

Utah Is a Desert, How Much Can I Really Collect?

More than you'd expect.

Utah valleys receive nearly 16 inches of precipitation per year on average. That's plenty to fill any rain catchment system we can build for you, whether it's 50 gallons or the full 2,500-gallon legal maximum.

Even modest rainfall events generate hundreds of gallons of runoff from a standard residential roof. That water is already hitting your property every time it rains. The only question is whether you're capturing it or letting it disappear into the ground. Why gutters matter more than most homeowners realize
