Rainwater Harvesting Registration

This year, the Utah Legislature passed Senate Bill 32, which permits the capture and storage of precipitation (i.e., rainwater harvesting). The bill has now been codified as section 73-3-1.5 of the Utah Code. One of the requirements of the new law is that a person who wants to harvest rainwater must first register with the Utah Division of Water Rights. The Division now has an online registration form (click here to access), which asks for the person's name, phone number, address, email address and storage size. Once the information is submitted, the person will receive a rainwater harvesting registration certificate.
