Join ACEC UTAH on October 13th for a conversation about the new Colorado River Authority of Utah with the Authority’s Chair, Gene Shawcroft. Appointed the Colorado River Commissioner of Utah by Governor Spencer Cox, Gene Shawcroft leads the new six-member Authority, represents Utah on all Colorado River issues, and serves as a member of the Upper Colorado River Commission. He is also the General Manager for Central Utah Water Conservancy District, the state’s largest water conservancy district.
2021 brought extreme drought conditions to Utah and most of the southwest states. Lack of rain and dwindling reservoirs have focused the water discussion with Utah policy makers. Join us for a conversation about current and future water in Utah from the Colorado River and about the focus of the new Utah authority.
