Jordan Valley Water sets public hearing on up to $120,000,000 in water revenue bonds
No minutes have been published for any of the Jordan Valley Water Conservancy District meetings held in the past two weeks, so this roundup reflects agendas only. No votes, approvals or final outcomes are recorded in the material available.
Board of Trustees: hearing on up to $120,000,000 in bonds
The district's Board of Trustees was scheduled to hold a public hearing on October 14, 2026, at 3:00 p.m. at 8215 South 1300 West, West Jordan, Utah, on issuing up to $120,000,000 in aggregate principal amount of water revenue bonds.
According to the agenda, the bonds would finance part of the cost of acquiring and building improvements to the district's water system and pay the costs of issuing the bonds. The district says it will not pledge taxes; repayment would come from water system revenues under a master bond resolution and supplemental resolution.
The hearing was also set to cover the potential economic impact of the financed facilities on the private sector. Written comments may be submitted before the hearing to the Clerk at 8215 South 1300 West, West Jordan, Utah 84088.
The hearing was part of the regular board meeting. The agenda does not indicate whether the board took any action on the bonds.
