The Roy Water Conservancy District was
originated on February 16, 1965. Construction on the
District began in 1974 and was finished in 1977. The
District was built as a small reclamation project by the U.S.
Bureau of Reclamation through the Small Reclamation Loan Act.
Initial federal funding for the District system was
$8,400,000 and now has a present value of $40,000,000. The Roy Water Conservancy District secondary water system was built for primary agricultural needs in the Roy City area, as pressurized irrigation was a secondary need. Today, the primary purpose of the secondary system is to provide pressurized irrigation for domestic lawn and garden use, as well as to conserve, develop, and stabilize supplies of water for domestic, irrigation, power, manufacturing, and other beneficial uses. The District is located within the Weber Basin Water Conservancy District boundaries and serves exclusively within Weber County limits. The service area is primarily Roy City but has grown to include small portions of West Haven, Hooper, and Riverdale. The District maintains over 9,000 secondary water connections for approximately 35,000 residents, and approximately 135 miles of pressurized pipe. The District services 5,225 acres of domestic lawn and garden watering with small portions going to agriculture. |
