3 Years ago, the water level on Utah Lake was fine. 2 Years ago ... June 10th 2001 .. The water level was fine, June 30th 2001 it was down to where it is now. We are supposedly in a drought but the water levels in Jordanelle hardly move compared to Deer Creek & Utah Lake. And! They still pump the water out of Utah Lake during this shortage. What is the deal? Last summer I took a nice little drive down the Jordan river and it was Bank - to - Bank practically all summer! The Golf Courses were all still green but our lawns weren't. I am having a really hard time with this ... I think that the anglers / boaters of Deer Creek and Utah Lake need some answers. The Marinas have never been this shallow and they dredged the "pumphouse" area to 10 feet to suck Utah Lake dry. ... My question is why? Where is this water going?
