Why landscape water reduction matters in Herriman.
Herriman's water supply & drought context.
Herriman draws through Jordan Valley Water Conservancy District, whose conservation posture and tiered summer rates mean high-volume Herriman customers often move into tier-3 rate territory early in the watering season. Large lot sizes amplify both the waste and the reduction opportunity.
How Herriman landscapes waste water.
Herriman's southwest-Wasatch alluvial soils drain quickly and require different GreenRx prescriptions than valley-floor clay. The large-lot development pattern means a typical Herriman project saves more gallons and more dollars in absolute terms than projects in denser neighboring cities.
The Great Salt Lake connection.
Wasatch Front residential landscape water is a consumptive use in the Jordan River and Bear River watersheds — the two largest inflows to the Great Salt Lake. The Great Salt Lake has lost more than 70% of its surface area since 1850, and upstream consumptive use is a primary driver. Reducing Herriman landscape water is among the most direct levers an individual property has on lake elevation within the same hydrologic year.
Two research-based systems, calibrated for Herriman.
Landscape water reduction in Herriman is not a single intervention — it's a coordinated protocol that changes how your canopy shades the ground, how your soil absorbs water, and how your controller delivers it.
JLB Canopy Management
Structural pruning designed to reduce evapotranspiration load on the landscape beneath — on established Herriman properties, typically the largest single reduction lever. Mature plants are retained, never removed.
GreenRx Plant Optimization
Soil cores and controller audit concentrated where Herriman's climate fundamentally mismatches the planted landscape. Turf is preserved; the irrigation and canopy are corrected to match the climate.
Both systems are explained in detail in our Utah water conservation research page, with source citations to Utah DWR, USU Extension, and peer-reviewed canopy and turf literature.
