By November 1, 2027, every city and county within the Great Salt Lake basin — which includes communities along the Wasatch Front and surrounding areas — must adopt and enforce rules requiring water-efficient landscaping for new construction and development; water-efficient landscaping includes drought-tolerant plants, efficient irrigation systems, and designs that reduce traditional grass lawns. The state Division of Water Resources must track compliance and publish an annual public list of cities and counties that fail to meet this deadline, and may offer technical help to local governments working to meet the requirement.
