Water Week is coming up April 24-28, 2023 and we have some water-related activities planned for Sandy’s community.

Photo Contest - April 10-23 

We all need water to survive! What are some ways that water is important or meaningful in your life? For this year’s Water Week, we’re asking you to think about the ways water connects us all, from our family and friends to the Great Salt Lake. Show off your photography skills and your love for water by participating in our photo contest. Submit your photos from April 10-23. The winners will be announced on April 27 and will receive a water bill credit.

NEW! Water Watch Resident Portal

Sandy City has a new resident water portal! WaterSmart provides detailed information about your household water use. You can reach the portal on your mobile device or web browser at sandy.utah.gov/watersmart

To register for this free service, just enter your billing account number and email address. You can then access all of your utility data as soon as it becomes available each billing period, see how your water use compares to similar sized homes in your neighborhood, and get access to customized recommendations on how you can save water and money. We hope you take advantage of this exciting new service, and look forward to working closely with our residents to make our city more resilient, healthy, and happy!
