Temporary Phase 2 Water Restrictions in Vialetto Area
Effective May 31
Residents of the Vialetto area on Traverse Mountain will be under Phase 2 outdoor water restrictions beginning Saturday, May 31. This temporary measure is necessary due to a delay in construction of the new pressurized irrigation (PI) reservoir that will serve your neighborhood.
Originally scheduled for completion in April, the reservoir project encountered unforeseen issues that have delayed progress. Construction, repairs, and system testing are now expected to be completed by July 1.
What Phase 2 Water Restrictions Mean
- No sprinkler irrigation on consecutive days
- Sprinkler irrigation is limited to two days per week, with at least 48 hours between watering cycles
These restrictions are in place to help manage limited resources and ensure adequate water is available throughout the system during this critical construction phase.

Why This Matters
For over 30 years, Lehi’s PI system has reliably provided irrigation water for landscaping and has supported essential fire suppression infrastructure.
Currently, the Vialetto area is being supplied by culinary water, which is intended for indoor use and is not a viable long-term solution for outdoor irrigation. Completing the new PI reservoir is a critical step in restoring sustainable water service to your area and strengthening overall water infrastructure.
Planning Landscaping? Please Delay New Sod
We understand that many residents begin landscaping projects in late spring and early summer. However, we strongly recommend postponing the installation of new sod until after July 1. New sod requires frequent, consistent watering to establish, which is not compatible with current Phase 2 watering restrictions.
Water Shortage Management Plan
These temporary restrictions align with Lehi City’s broader Water Shortage Management Plan, which guides how we respond to supply challenges and prioritize system improvements.
