Where does St. George water come from? Our water resources include both groundwater and surface water sources. Our numerous springs and groundwater wells draw from consolidated rock aquifers in the Navajo Sandstone and Kayenta Formation within the Virgin River basin.
We purchase surface water from the Washington County Water Conservancy District, which draws from the Virgin River and stores it in Quail Lake and Sand Hollow Reservoirs. This water undergoes treatment at the Quail Creek Water Treatment Plant before distribution to city residents.
Most customers within city limits receive a blend of groundwater and surface water throughout portions of the year. Residents along State Highway 18 north to the Ledges Subdivision are served exclusively by groundwater from our Tolman-Ledges wells.
Water Conservation Tips:
- Fix leaky faucets to save up to 20 gallons daily or 6,000 gallons annually
- Use your water meter to detect hidden leaks by checking readings before and after a 15-minute period of no water use
Source Protection: Drinking Water Source Protection Plans (DWSPPs) for St. George are available for review. These documents contain information about source protection zones, potential contamination sources, and management strategies to safeguard our water supply. Most groundwater sources are in remote, protected areas with low contamination risk. Our plans are viewable at www.sgcity.org/utilities/waterdepartment or at the St. George Water Department office (811 East Red Hills Parkway).
The WCWCD maintains Watershed Protection Plans for the Virgin River basin portions from which they draw, store and treat surface water. For additional information on their protection plans, call (435) 673-3617.

Like many communities in Utah, Springville was established by settlers from the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. On September 2, 1850, a company of 135 wagons led by Captain Aaron Johnson arrived in Salt Lake City after departing Council Bluffs, Iowa on June 7.
Shortly after their arrival, Brigham Young directed Johnson to establish a settlement at a pre-selected site in south Utah Valley. The first pioneers established their camp on September 18, 1850, with additional families arriving in subsequent weeks.
Originally named Hobble Creek in 1849, the growing settlement was renamed Springville and incorporated on February 13, 1853. The canyon stream and surrounding green spaces retained the Hobble Creek name.
Springville enjoys an ideal location in one of the region's most scenic areas—nestled in the Wasatch Range foothills just two miles east of Utah Lake and 45 miles south of Salt Lake City. Its position along I-15 provides excellent access to Interstate 80, creating efficient distribution routes to major western markets.
Known for its strong connection to the arts, Springville has experienced steady growth over recent decades. Its current population of 31,205 continues to increase at an annual rate of 4.6%.

Hardness depends on the source and changes over time. The annual water quality report lists hardness, or you can test it at home. If it is above about 7 grains per gallon, a water softener sized to your measured hardness will stop scale and spotting.
