La Verkin has commenced a $12.5 million project to construct a 7.1 million-gallon pond, pump station, and 6,300-foot pipeline to deliver reuse water from the Confluence Park Reclamation Facility. This project is part of a broader 20-year plan to implement a Regional Reuse Purification System, aiming to serve 40,000 homes and includes additional reclamation facilities and pipelines.
