Drilling Wells to Dewater the Heber Valley Utah Temple Site
Approval has been granted by the Utah Division of Water Rights for 20 wells to be drilled at the Heber Valley Utah Temple site to dewater the ground prior to construction. A 2023 study estimated that up to a million gallons of water would need to be pumped every day to prepare the property. A manager at the Utah Geological Survey says that although the number of gallons seems large, the dewatering project is relatively small in scale. The water will be pumped into large tanks and then discharged into Lake Creek, according to the dewatering application.
