2 2018 Annual Report | Central Utah Water Conservancy District Farewell After faithfully serving District needs for over 50 years, the headquarters property at 355 West University Parkway, Orem, was declared surplus and made available for public sale. This property, with its office complex and gardens, has come to symbolize the success of its staff and governing board throughout the development and construction of the Central Utah Project and related water treatment facilities. A new headquarters complex, located near the mouth of Provo Canyon, offers the advantages of both centralization and consolidation:

Centralization among other District facilities including the Don A. Christiansen Regional Water Treatment Plant and the Olmsted 1 Hydroelectric Power Plant.

Consolidation of multiple District operations and responsibilities into one campus. The new complex allows for growth over the next 50 years and is also easily accessed by all other District field offices and 2 treatment plants.

2018 Annual Report | Central Utah Water Conservancy District 3 Utah Lake System (ULS)

The District continued construction on the first reach of the Spanish Fork-Santaquin Pipeline in 2018. The first reach and the flow control structure were constructed by Condie Construction. Substantial completion of that pipeline reach occurred in November 2018.

W.W. Clyde began construction on the second reach in fall 2018. The expected completion date for this reach is July 2019. The District plans to bid and award the next reaches in the spring and fall of 2019.

The District also completed the Diamond Fork Flow Study in cooperation with the U.S. Department of the Interior, the Utah Reclamation Mitigation and Conservation Commission (URMCC), and Utah State University. This study looked at the flow regimes which would be most beneficial for the fisheries in Diamond Fork Canyon. The results of the study will have implications on how the District operates the Sixth Water Flow Control Structure and the Strawberry Tunnel.

4 2018 Annual Report | Central Utah Water Conservancy District 2018 Annual Report | Central Utah Water Conservancy District 5 Central Water Project (CWP)

CWP had another busy year in 2018. Construction of the Vineyard Wellfield Collector Pipeline Project, which consists of 3 miles of pipelines ranging from 24-inch to 48-inch pipe, began in March 2018. By the end of December, the general contractor (Whitaker Construction Company) had completed laying 75% of the pipeline. It is projected that the project will be completed in the beginning of May 2019 and will be ready to receive water from the wells once the well pump houses are finished.

Well pump houses 14 and 15 were completed. Well 14 was put online and helped fill the demands of the CWP system during summer 2018. Well 15 was still in the process of being developed and cleaned prior to being put into service.

Wells 8, 9, and 10, all 24-inch diameter wells, were drilled at the south end of the Vineyard Wellfield Collector Pipeline. Well 8 was drilled to a depth of 1,500 feet, and well development has been completed. It is ready to move forward with pump house construction in 2019. Well 9 was drilled to 1,200 ft and is currently undergoing well development. Well 10 was drilled to 1,300 ft and will continue with well development once development on Well 9 is completed.

6 2018 Annual Report | Central Utah Water Conservancy District Two new well pump houses were put online in 2018 and the wells helped fulfill the contractual obligations of the CWP system. Well 13 won the “Best Tasting Ground Water” and the “Best Tasting Water Overall” awards at the Intermountain Section Conference of AWWA in October 2018. This represents the third CWP well to win these awards.

Contract water deliveries will continue to increase in the coming year. Jordan Valley Water Conservancy District, Pacificorp, and Lehi will all reach their maximum contract amounts. Saratoga Springs and Eagle Mountain will all be increasing their contracted amounts substantially. The CWP System will also continue to deliver increasing amounts to Vineyard.

2018 Annual Report | Central Utah Water Conservancy District 7 Central Utah Project Operations

The District operates, maintains, and manages the federally-owned Central Utah Project. Staff manages the CUP water supply and operates both project and non-project facilities each year to divert, collect, store, and deliver more than 360,000 acre-feet of water to meet project purposes.

Major project purposes include providing supplemental irrigation water for agriculture, providing municipal and industrial water to approximately 1.2 million of Utah’s residents, providing environmental stream flows to sustain sporting and endangered species, and providing recreational opportunities on multiple waterways and waterbodies. Staff operates, maintains, repairs, and replaces many facilities, including 9 major dams and reservoirs, over 100 miles of large-diameter tunnels and pipelines, 9 diversion dams, 2 hydroelectric power plants, numerous flow-control and conveyance facilities, and a wide-area communication and SCADA system.

Summer 2018 saw the beginning of the North Fork Siphon Replacement Project. This project includes building a new 84-inch pipeline parallel to the existing, still-operational facility. The project is expected to be completed fall 2020.

8 2018 Annual Report | Central Utah Water Conservancy District 2018 Annual Report | Central Utah Water Conservancy District 9 District Facilities

All three of Central Utah Water’s treatment plants met their water quality goals in 2018.

The Ashley Valley Water Treatment Plant (AVWTP) set a new plant production record by delivering 4,234 acre-feet of drinking water. The plant also met all other operational goals while experiencing unique water quality challenges resulting from severe drought conditions.

The Duchesne Valley Water Treatment Plant (DVWTP) also met all operational goals while delivering a near-record production of 4,433 acre-feet of finished drinking water. Severe thunderstorms following a major wildfire in the watershed significantly impacted the source water quality to the plant, but plant staff worked around-the-clock to ensure continued delivery of exceptionally high-quality drinking water.

The Don A. Christiansen Regional Water Treatment Plant (DACRWTP) delivered a record 32,267 acre-feet of finished drinking water to customer agencies. The treatment plant staff are recognized nationally for their ability to continue optimized operations and meet the very stringent water quality goals of the Partnership for Safe Water Program. The plant recently completed 15 years of optimized operations meeting highest-level (Phase IV) requirements. The plant and staff will be recognized at the Annual American Water Works Association Conference in June 2019, as one of only two plants in the nation to achieve this level of plant operations and water quality.

10 2018 Annual Report | Central Utah Water Conservancy District 2018 Annual Report | Central Utah Water Conservancy District 11 Water Quality

2018 was one of the worst wildfire years in Utah’s history. Several wildfires had negative water-quality impacts affecting District water treatment plants. The Dollar Ridge Fire burned approximately 70,000 acres of the Strawberry River watershed between Strawberry Reservoir and Starvation Reservoir. Much of the burned terrain was very steep and produced extreme erosion events when summer thunderstorms came in July and August. This resulted in large amounts of sediment washing into Starvation Reservoir, degrading water quality. The sediment itself is a concern because the Duchesne Valley Water Treatment Plant, which takes water directly from Starvation Reservoir and provides much of Duchesne County with drinking water, was not designed to treat highly-turbid water. Along with the sediment came organic materials and the associated taste and odor issues as well as other water quality challenges.

Nutrients contained in the sediment cause algal blooms, which can clog treatment plant filters and further degrade water quality in the reservoir. After the August thunderstorm and mudslides, muddy water was found to be flowing to the east side of the reservoir near the treatment plant intake.

These factors resulted in the implementation of a project to add a sedimentation process to the Duchene Valley Water Treatment Plant so that it can handle the new water quality challenges and continue to deliver high-quality drinking water to its customers.

12 2018 Annual Report | Central Utah Water Conservancy District 2018 Annual Report | Central Utah Water Conservancy District 13 Engineering and Technical Services

This year, engineering staff managed several significant projects including: Drilling and completing 3, new, deep wells in Vineyard. The design of the well houses reached 1 30% completion.

Installing nearly 2 miles of 48-inch, welded-steel pipe for the Vineyard Wellfield Collection Pipeline. This work also included 2 two large borings under the Union Pacific/Utah Transit Authority rail lines and the construction of a large valve vault.

Completing a District-wide, Arc-Flash Study. This study evaluated the District’s electrical equipment including current condition and 3 replacement costs. Each piece of equipment was analyzed for arc potential, and a safety sticker was affixed to the equipment that details what an employee must do to be able to work on the piece of equipment safely.

Completing a detailed hydraulic capacity analysis of the Strawberry Collection System. 4

14 2018 Annual Report | Central Utah Water Conservancy District Engineering and Operations staff also completed an important pilot plant and operations study for a process improvement project at the Duchesne 5 Valley Water Treatment Plant. This study will be used to design and construct a new flocculation and sedimentation basin for the treatment plant that is required due to the long-term changes in water quality at Starvation Reservoir resulting from the Dollar Ridge Fire of 2018.

2018 Annual Report | Central Utah Water Conservancy District 15 Olmsted Hydroelectric Power Plant

2018 was an exciting year for hydropower at the District— the Olmsted Hydroelectric Power Plant Replacement Project, located at one of the oldest, hydroelectric-power- generation sites in the western United States, was completed. Construction began on this $41M project in August 2016 and was completed in July 2018.

The new Olmsted Hydroelectric Power Plant, owned by the United States and operated by the District, is a ‘run of the river’ generating facility (i.e. power is produced only when water demand from downstream users requires water delivery) and will generate enough power annually to supply approximately 3,000 homes. The power plant can generate enough power to supply 8,000 homes when operating at peak capacity. All power produced is marketed by Western Area Power Administration and has been allocated to customers in Utah. Central Utah Water is one of the customers and will receive approximately 30% of the power.

The power plant has received multiple awards including:

1) the Associated General Contractors of Utah awarded the Olmsted plant the Industrial/Energy project of the year award, and

2 ) the Utah Masonry Council awarded Olmsted the Honor Design Award for outstanding masonry design and installation.

16 2018 Annual Report | Central Utah Water Conservancy District The power plant was dedicated on September 19, 2019, by Dr. Tim Petty, U.S. Department of the Interior (DOI) Assistant Secretary of Water and Science, followed by two days of public tours that brought over 1,000 people through the facility. The historic power plant, located just south of the new power plant, is currently being converted into a historic museum that will be available for tours by appointment.

2018 Annual Report | Central Utah Water Conservancy District 17 Olmsted Hydroelectric Power Plant

Lucien L (LL) Nunn, a banker with mining ties from Telluride, Colorado, saw the need for an inexpensive, reliable, power source to power mine mills. Intrigued with the power of falling water and the potential to generate power using turbines, he and $50,000 in gold convinced George Westinghouse to develop an alternating-current (AC) power system.

LL Nunn and the Telluride Power Company began hydroelectric power generation in Provo Canyon at Nunn’s Station in 1897. Nunn’s Station, located approximately 4.5 miles up Provo Canyon, generated AC power at 44,000 volts, and transmitted this power over 32 miles to the mining town of Mercur, Utah. This was the first high-voltage, long-distance, AC, power transmission system in the world.

Nunn’s system was an immediate success and the demand for power increased quickly. Nunn decided to move his power station to the mouth of Provo Canyon to take advantage of the increased water drop for greater pressure on the turbines. This plant, the Olmsted Power Plant, was completed in 1904.

Nunn established one of the first electrical engineering institutes in the United States at the Olmsted plant—the Telluride Institute. The Telluride students were divided into three groups, each group having different responsibilities. One group was called the “first year” or “24-hour” men. These students only studied when time and work permitted. Another group, the “5-hour” men, worked five hours a day and studied the rest. The last group consisted of the “scholarships.” These students had no regular work duties and were committed to study, research, and experimentation.

In 1912, Utah Light and Traction, the predecessor to Utah Power and Light (UP&L), purchased the Olmsted Station from Telluride Power and began operation of the facilities. In 1922, a fourth generator was added to the plant.

18 2018 Annual Report | Central Utah Water Conservancy District In 1987, DOI secured ownership of the Olmsted Flowline and the associated water rights as an essential part of the Central Utah Project (CUP). In the associated 1990 Settlement Agreement, the Olmsted Hydroelectric Power Plant was added to the CUP to better secure and develop the associated water rights. Continued operation of a power plant at Olmsted is essential to maintaining the Olmsted water rights, which are a large, critical part of the water supply of the CUP.

2018 Annual Report | Central Utah Water Conservancy District 19 Hydropower The District and Heber Light and Power Company (HL&P) formed a partnership in 2000 to develop the Jordanelle Hydroelectric Project. This project develops non-federal power at Jordanelle Reservoir under a lease-of-power privilege with the U.S. Department of the Interior (DOI).

During 2018, a net generation of 47,619.12 MWh of power was achieved. This is very close to the generation achieved in 2017. This is well above the average-annual, long-term, generation estimate.

One of the highlights of the year was the educational tours District staff conducted at Jordanelle Dam and Hydroelectric Power Plant. This year, over 375 students came to tour the facility, along with many teachers and parents. Working with those teachers and students to enrich their education has been a great experience for our employees.

The District, in cooperation with DOI, completed the construction of the new Olmsted Hydroelectric Power Plant in 2018. The new plant began generating electric power in July of this year. By the end of 2018, the plant had generated a total of 4,721.85 MWh of electricity. The power generated by this facility is federal power and will be marketed by the Western Area Power Administration.

The Olmsted plant was dedicated on September 19, 2018. The completion of the plant is a major milestone, and it is expected that this plant will serve the people of Utah for many decades with a clean, inexpensive, and reliable source of power, while the water rights for the plant continue to provide a portion of the water supply for the Central Utah Project.

2018 Annual Report | Central Utah Water Conservancy District 21 Central Utah Gardens

Central Utah Gardens celebrated another record-breaking year in 2018 with a total of 10,568 visitors. Garden staff focused heavily on education and offered more classes than ever before. There were 21 gardening classes and workshops held for adults, with a total attendance of 1,298. Ten different kids’ classes were offered during the summer, with a total attendance of 946.

The annual Water Festival had a pirate theme this year and hit a new record of 751 attendees. New to the festival was a birdhouse competition, and over 20 entries were submitted. The three winning birdhouses were displayed in the garden during the summer.

This year’s Pumpkin Walk also broke its attendance record with over 2,500 visitors. Quick information about the District and about water conservation were presented on signs placed throughout the gardens during the event.

With the goal of increased education in mind, free Home Gardening Kits were offered to those who were willing to take a guided tour of the gardens. These kits included gardening gloves, sunscreen, coupons to local nurseries, and seasonal gardening information. 275 tours were given, triple the amount from 2017, and over 700 people took advantage of the offer.

2018 Annual Report | Central Utah Water Conservancy District 23 June Sucker Recovery Implementation Program (JSRIP)

The June Sucker Recovery Implementation Program continued to make progress towards recovery of the June sucker in 2018. Among the successes was the progress made on the Provo River Delta Restoration Project, which will improve habitat conditions at the interface of the Provo River and Utah Lake. The project is necessary to improve the survival of young June sucker and to reduce the need for ongoing stocking of June sucker from hatcheries. Current poor habitat conditions in the lower Provo River contribute to the loss of essentially all larval June sucker that hatch-out in the Provo River. Engineering for the project has continued with project designs nearing completion and agreements reached with local communities to start enhancing recreation opportunities as part of the project.

The June sucker population continues to increase year-by-year. Stocking of June sucker continued in 2018, with over 30,000 more fish being released into Utah Lake. These fish were larger than those stocked in previous years and should have increased survival rates compared to the smaller fish that had been planted in the past. Carp removal continued with just over 2.3 million pounds being removed from Utah Lake in 2018.

24 2018 Annual Report | Central Utah Water Conservancy District Conservation

2018 was an exciting year for changes to the District’s water conservation programs. In a collaborative effort with other water districts and the Utah Division of Water Resources, the District was able to successfully launch UtahWaterSavers.com, a website that houses water conservation rebates for the entire state. This change made it easier for people throughout Utah to find the rebates they qualify for and to apply for them online.

The District’s conservation team also partnered with Spanish Fork City to implement a new smart-controller program. Through this partnership, Spanish Fork City installed approximately 1,000 controllers. The city has not only seen a reduction in water use but has reduced their peak water demand. This program will continue through 2020 with Spanish Fork City planning to install an additional 2,000 controllers.

The District also partnered with Utah State University to begin a study on combining multiple water conservation principles in agricultural settings to further reduce water needs. This partnership will continue through 2020.

2018 Annual Report | Central Utah Water Conservancy District 25 Environmental Program

Central Utah Water’s environmental team continued in 2018 to provide important environmental services including: Preparing a draft Environmental Assessment (draft EA) for the Conveyance and Storage of Non-project Water in the Starvation Collection System. The draft EA was released in November to the public and agencies for their review 1 and comment. The draft EA is the first step towards allowing non-Central Utah Project water to be conveyed and stored in the Starvation Collection System pending space availability.

Participating as a joint lead agency with the Utah Reclamation Mitigation and Conservation Commission and the U.S. Department of the Interior CUPCA Office to conduct flow studies on Sixth Water Creek and Diamond Fork River. 2 The flow studies examine the overall health of these two systems with a goal of determining a suitable range for the most beneficial flow regimen. A draft report, along with a recommended flow regime, was prepared by Utah State University, contracted consultant for the studies.

Providing a variety of support functions for various construction projects including procuring stream channel alteration permits, performing cultural 3 resource surveys, and assisting with fish relocation efforts.

26 2018 Annual Report | Central Utah Water Conservancy District Education and Outreach Central Utah Water Symposium Spring also brought the chance to host the second Central Utah Water Symposium. Water agencies, academia, and industry leaders met together in May to discuss climate variability and how it will affect water in Utah. Education Program In its second year, the Education and Outreach staff spoke with over 23,000 people. The highlight of the education program was the teacher trainings. These trainings are based around water in the Utah Common Core Standards. Last year, the teachers attending these trainings reached over 25,000 students from 4th grade through high school.

With strong partners such as the Utah Farm Bureau, the Utah Field House of Natural History State Park Museum in Vernal, and the Utah National Guard, the District was able to provide educational opportunities throughout its counties.

2018 Annual Report | Central Utah Water Conservancy District 27 Winter Snowpack

Poor snowpack conditions, including many Snotel sites peaking at below 70% of normal, contributed to Utah experiencing its driest year in the 133-year period-of-record for annual precipitation. Utah also claimed the title of being the driest state in the United States in 2018.
