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.
