The Great Salt Lake Collaborative posed 10 questions to Ogden mayoral candidates Taylor Knuth and Ben Nadolski about how their administrations will deal with the lake.
Ruben Gyoeltsyan walks across a sand bar at the receding edge of the Great Salt Lake on March 3, 2022, near Salt Lake City. Utah lawmakers passed a $40 million proposal through the state Senate that would pay water rights holders to conserve and fund habitat restoration to prevent the lake from shrinking further. , a solutions journalism initiative that partners news, education and media organizations to help inform people about the plight of theHowever, this asset has been under threat.
To say that Ogden City's long-term economic and ecological success relies heavily on the water levels and overall health of the Lake would be a gross understatement. I believe saving the Great Salt Lake is a generational investment and any and all high-level decisions made in a Knuth administration would be filtered through this priority to ensure our best possible future for the residents and visitors of Ogden City.
A Knuth administration would donate our treated storm and sewer water back to the Great Salt Lake and more. This also includes the creation of a Sustainability Solution Center, in partnership with Weber State University. Such a center would aid in the conversion and enhancement of residential assets related to water delivery such as high-efficiency taps and toilets, as well as xeriscaping and water-tolerant lawns, services offered at low or no cost to residents.
I will propose that we partner with the Utah Department of Natural Resources, the legislature and various nonprofits to fund the replacement of the waterline, and use the water conserved through leakage, combined with leasing our excess water rights, to help fill the Great Salt Lake.
