SALT LAKE CITY -- With Utah water supplies falling to levels unseen for generations, Gov. Mike Leavitt recently announced plans to launch a statewide water conservation campaign.
Utah has had drier-than-usual weather over the past three years. At the same time, there have been increases in population and water consumption.
According to a news release issued by Leavitt's office, ``it is vital that Utahns conserve water during the next two months to help ensure an adequate supply next spring.''
Leavitt urged residents to avoid watering between peak hours of 10 a.m. to 6 p.m. and to adjust timers on sprinklers according to seasons. His campaign will include television and radio spots that include the tips.
Efforts also are planned to work with water providers, communities, and large organizations to conserve water.
