  • Provo River Watershed Plan Introduction Public Water Systems
    Provo River Watershed Plan Introduction Public water systems (PWSs) in the State of Utah who treat surface water or groundwater under the direct influence of surface water are required by the Drinking Water Source Protection (DWSP) Rule, to develop, submit and implement a DWSP Plan for all sources of public drinking water. All PWSs are required to delineate watershed protection zones, develop a listing of potential contamination sources within the protection zones, and subsequently prepare and implement management plans to provide protection for surface water sources within the watershed protection zones. The following PWSs along the Wasatch Front have formed the Watershed Protection Coalition (Coalition) and have initiated a cooperative project to develop their DWSP Plans for the Provo River Basin Watershed: Central Utah Water Conservancy District Jordan Valley Water Conservancy District Metropolitan Water District of Salt Lake & Sandy The mission of the Watershed Protection Coalition is to: Work cooperatively to understand the watershed, identify priorities, and develop and implement long-term strategies to protect the drinking water source(s) from contamination, as a primary safeguard to protect the public health. Support federal, state and local agencies that are empowered with the authority and jurisdiction necessary to protect the watershed(s) and drinking water source(s) through regulations, rules and ordinances. The members of the Coalition, all of whom are active signing and funding members of the Provo River Watershed Council (PRWC), are working together to protect regional surface water resources. By working together in cooperation with other agencies and programs, the Coalition is able to maximize efficiency, and jointly manage potential contamination sources.

  • Network Considerations with the Advantage Network You Get Care at Hospitals and Generally Pay Similar Prices from One to Another
    Introduction Network Considerations With the Advantage network you get care at hospitals and generally pay similar prices from one to another. With the Summit network, some services are available only at hospitals, while others are also available at surgical or imaging centers with prices varying from one facility to the next. With both networks you get access to doctors’ offices, where prices can vary. The Summit network also provides rebates for certain procedures; see Benefits Summary. ADVANTAGE Price estimates for Intermountain Healthcare hospitals Procedure Doctor’s Office Surgery/Imaging Center Hospital Hysteroscopy $567 Not Available $4,165-5,858 Colonoscopy $653 Not Available $1,100-2,225 MRI of Head $536 Not Available $1,931-2,638 Knee Arthroscopy Not Available Not Available $3,279-8,373 Knee Replacement Not Available Not Available $31,485-33,289 SUMMIT Price ranges for IASIS, MountainStar, University of Utah, surgical centers, imaging centers Procedure Doctor’s Office Surgery/Imaging Center Hospital Hysteroscopy $507-567 $1,209-1,638 $3,721-9,532 Colonoscopy $653 $645-1,456 $1,284-2,728 MRI of Head $536 $550 $1,179-1,890 Knee Arthroscopy Not Available $851-1,489 $2,287-7,059 Knee Replacement Not Available $12,800-20,000 $23,961-36,815 *For illustrative purposes only. Based on PEHP average-cost data from April 2017. Costs may vary. Estimates shown reflect the total cost — not necessarily your portion of the cost. Live in Rural Utah? If so, consider which group of Wasatch Front providers you prefer when you choose your network. In addition to any personal preference or need for network- specific care, consider whether your local hospital and doctors are more likely to refer you to specialty care from Advantage (Intermountain) or Summit (University, Iasis, or MountainStar) providers and where emergency transport would most likely send you.
