OGDEN — Warm, windy weather has dried greenery and increased the fire threat in northeastern Utah.

But outside of ditch bank and agricultural burns getting away from people, the Weber-Davis area is under no high fire threat, a state fire official says.

Red flag warnings were in effect Thursday for much of western Colorado and the San Luis Valley, as well as parts of Utah, Wyoming, Arizona, Nevada and New Mexico.

Low runoffs unlikely to lead to watering restrictions - this year, at least

OGDEN — Despite recent storms, the snowpack above the Wasatch Front is still well below average, meaning runoffs will also be low.

That does not mean there will be watering or irrigation restrictions this summer, however.

“We’ve talked a lot about it,” said Weber Basin Water Conservancy District Director Tage Flint. “It looks as if the runoff projections show we’re going to settle in about 70 percent of normal.”

PLAIN CITY -- State Sen. Scott Jenkins recently discussed with the city council a few issues that would affect the city in the future.

The Weber Basin Water Conservancy District has applied to raise Willard Bay by 3 feet, Jenkins said.

"That will be coming down the pike in the next year. It will increase the flow in the canal that comes to the junction by 50 to 100 percent," he said.

MORGAN -- Depending on public reaction to a recently completed water study, a water moratorium in Morgan County could end in as few as 30 days. The study revealed sources of nitrates in drinking water and could affect the administration of water rights in Morgan County.

In 2004, the state Division of Water Rights, the Utah Geological Survey and the Weber Basin Water Conservancy District teamed up to begin a groundwater study of Morgan County. Since 2008 and in conjunction with the study, officials enacted a moratorium on all water leasing in the area. That moratorium will be lifted after a 30-day public comment period.
