Episode Description
As Utah faces severe drought and record‑low snowpack, cities are taking different approaches to water conservation. Midvale is opting for higher water rates instead of strict enforcement, while other communities are cracking down on outdoor watering altogether. Greg and Holly discuss what cities are doing, whether higher costs actually change behavior, and how far residents may be willing to go before water use truly shifts.
