Life's Essential Water Is Our Essential Work. And That's Our Absolute Truth.

Why do we want the best water around? Because it’s our water too. For 65 years, we’ve treated the snowmelt found on the Grand Mesa and a few other sources to make it the freshest we can.  That’s the absolute truth.

​Founded by a group of farmers who fought to bring domestic water services to the rural areas of the Grand Valley, including the Town of Palisade, the City of Grand Junction, and the City of Fruita, the Ute Water Conservancy District (District) was established to serve the community with clean, drinkable water. 

​Today, Ute Water Conservancy District is recognized as the largest domestic water provider between Denver, Colorado, and Salt Lake City, Utah. 90,000 Grand Valley customers rely on our employees to provide them with high-quality water with reliable service.

Because our founders knew a life without clean water, we're committed to making sure you never do.

The process of capturing freshly fallen snowmelt from the Grand Mesa is one that makes the District unique and is admired by other water providers across the nation. The Grand Mesa, also recognized as the world's largest flattop mesa, is the primary watershed for the District, and the gravity-fed system that delivers the pristine snowmelt to your tap is unique to the District. 

Our process isn't perfect, but knowing that some of the best water professionals play an integral role in delivering high-quality water to your tap makes our process one of the best around. Each drop of water that comes out of the tap originates from the Grand Mesa and is brought to you by dedicated employees who helped capture, move, treat, and distribute the water to your home. 

We don't make the water, but we make sure it gets to you and that it's safe for you to consume, because Ute Water is our water too. And that's our absolute truth.
