Slow the Flow

Slow the Flow is a Utah-focused water conservation initiative that helps residents use water wisely, save money, and support the state’s long-term water future. Its website brings together practical guidance, local programs, and tools for households planning water-wise changes indoors and outdoors. Visitors can find tips for kitchen, bathroom, and laundry habits, with potential indoor savings of up to 115,000 gallons per year, as well as outdoor practices that may save up to 680,000 gallons annually.

The site also highlights rebates and incentives for projects such as lawn replacement, toilet replacement, smart irrigation controllers, planting trees, and converting to drip irrigation. Rebate amounts and eligibility vary by city. To help homeowners make informed choices, Slow the Flow offers a weekly watering guide, landscape and plant resources, and a water savings calculator.

Its Rethinking Landscapes video series showcases Utah yard transformations and provides inspiration and practical ideas. Through these resources, the initiative connects everyday conservation with protecting water supplies, recreation, public health, and Utah’s natural environment
