Current Project Information

Project Overview

The transfer of title is authorized under the streamlined process of the John D. Dingell Jr. Conservation, Management, and Recreation Act.  The District has paid the United States Bureau of Reclamation (Bureau) for the construction of infrastructure within Davis and Weber Counties.  The Weber Basin Water Conservancy District (District) currently maintains these facilities for District use.

This project involves the transfer of approximately 81 miles of secondary water system pipelines, ranging in size from 2-inch to 60-inch diameter, 19.5 miles of land drains, 431 acres of easements associated with the pipelines and land drains, 7 pump stations, 7 wells, and 6.9 acres of fee title land interests associated with pump stations and wells federally owned to local ownership, enabling us to control and operate the local infrastructure to benefit the local communities along the Wasatch Front. The transfer will allow us to move forward with long-term planning and investment that aligns with the District to expand the necessary water supplies and infrastructure to deliver water to the growing population.

Project Overview

The Davis Aqueduct Reach 1 Parallel Pipeline construction project is the construction of a pipeline and associated appurtenances to increase the resiliency of the Davis Aqueduct. The existing Davis Aqueduct was built in the mid 1950’s and currently serves large portions of Davis County. The new pipeline will provide a more reliable conveyance of water to Davis County as part of the Districts resiliency preparedness. The project is expected to be under construction for a 24-month period. It will include two new pump stations and approximately 2.2 miles of 72-inch diameter welded steel piping, part of which will include specially designed flexible seismic piping at a major fault line.

Whitaker Construction has been awarded the construction contract for the project. They will coordinate work with several subcontractors to complete the work. The new pipeline will terminate at the North Davis Water Treatment Plant. The water will be used for both treated culinary water and secondary irrigation. The alignment of the pipeline will cross Highway 89 and run parallel to the west side of the highway.

Project Overview

The District is constructing two culinary pump stations. The Weber South Pump Station is being constructed to replace the existing pump station that is located at 4805 Old Post road.
