Utah Rivers Council
Utah Rivers Council launched the Great Salt Lake Waterkeeper and the 4,200 Project to connect Cedar Valley groundwater withdrawals by data-center campuses to Great Salt Lake elevation. The organization intervenes at the Utah Public Service Commission on Rocky Mountain Power tariff cases and documents industrial water draws that reduce Jordan River inflow.

Utah Rivers Council’s Great Salt Lake Waterkeeper positions the 4,200-foot lake elevation target as a constraint on Cedar Valley industrial groundwater allocation, directly linking Meta’s 35-million-gallon annual draw to the lake’s ecosystem and air-quality crisis.
