Utah's Division of Water Resources, working with the Division of Drinking Water, would be required to study water loss among public water systems, the utilities that supply drinking water to homes and businesses. The study would compile and analyze a decade of water loss data (2015–2024) based on system size, review industry standard practices for measuring and reducing both system-level and end-use water losses, and produce recommendations for improving data reliability and cutting actual water losses. Findings would need to be reported to the Legislative Water Development Commission by October 31, 2026, and the law authorizing this study would automatically expire on July 1, 2027.
