Box Elder’s Water Master Plan will help guide local public policy, future homeownership needs, and infrastructure development. We need your voice today!
Why Water Planning Matters
Water isn’t just a utility, it’s the foundation for economic opportunity, strong communities, and a future where local families can thrive. Without thoughtful planning, water access can become a barrier to the needs of current and future Box Elder County residents.
The Brigham-Tremonton Board of REALTORS® is committed to being a responsible partner in shaping policy that protects our shared future. The Water Master Plan is one of those critical tools. With the right preparation, we can support growth that reflects our values, meets the needs of our communities, and preserves the rural character that defines us.
Preserve Agriculture and Rural Livelihoods
Meeting the housing and infrastructure needs of our community shouldn’t come at the expense of our agricultural foundation. Farms and ranches play a significant role in our local economy and feed our families. The Water Master Plan supports working lands while planning for the future, recognizing that a reliable water supply is essential to the long-term success of agriculture in Box Elder County.
Protect Water Rights and Responsible Water Use
Water is one of Box Elder County’s most valuable private property rights. The Water Master Plan helps protect individual water rights while promoting responsible water use that keeps supplies available for agricultural, residential, and industrial use. By planning ahead, we can preserve access to this critical resource for current property owners and future generations—without unnecessary mandates or restrictions.
Ensure Reliable Water for Homes and Neighborhoods
As Box Elder’s kids grow up, many hope to stay close to home—to raise families, build careers, and contribute to their communities. But without reliable water infrastructure, even modest housing growth becomes difficult. The Water Master Plan helps ensure we have the water supply, storage, and systems in place to support future homeownership—so the next generation can put down roots right here in Box Elder County.
Manage Smart & Sustainable Growth
Box Elder County is growing—but that doesn’t mean we have to lose what makes it special. Smart growth means planning ahead so that development happens in the right places, with reliable infrastructure, and without compromising our rural character, open space, or quality of life. The County Water Master Plan helps guide that balance, ensuring we’re prepared for the future without sacrificing the values that define our communities.
Current Water Planning Efforts
Box Elder County and its partners are developing a long-range Water Master Plan through the Growing Water Smart process. From August through September 2025, regional meetings will be held throughout the County where residents can preview draft strategies and offer feedback. These meetings are a key opportunity to ensure the County Water Master Plan Supports:
- Responsible infrastructure investment
- Long-term community resilience
- Agriculture needs
- Housing affordability
- Private Water Rights
