Good News for Huntsville’s Water System
11/19/2025
Dear Residents,
I’m pleased to share that yesterday the Utah Drinking Water Board has officially approved $1,698,000 in funding for Huntsville’s water system upgrade. This package includes $510,000 in principal forgiveness, with the remaining $1,188,000 financed at 1.5% over 30 years.
As many of you remember, our Town faced a significant water outage in December 2024, when an elusive leak left residents without water for an extended period. That experience revealed that parts of our system were failing much sooner than expected and underscored the need for major improvements. Over the past year, we’ve taken important steps—including rebuilding our emergency fund and planning long-term infrastructure upgrades—to ensure we don’t face a crisis like that again.
This new funding allows us to move forward with:
- Replacing a major section of the Town’s main water line
- Adding redundancies to prevent future outages
- Strengthening long-term water reliability and system safety
Work on redundancy improvements will begin right away. Construction on the new main line is scheduled to start in early spring 2026.
This is a major step forward for our community. Thank you for your support, patience, and engagement as we work to secure safe and reliable water for Huntsville’s future.
Warm regards,
Richard L Sorensen
Mayor, The Town of Huntsville
