• Zion Shores surf community project draws questions about water use (byu.edu) — A large surf-lagoon community is rising in Washington using brackish well water instead of city culinary supplies under a negotiated agreement with Washington City. Residents and a water-policy analyst are questioning evaporation, long-term water use, and whether that groundwater could serve other purposes. City leaders say decades-old land and water rights left them little power to block the project, though they did secure a smaller pond area and strict limits on city water use.
