On July 7, 1949, the Magna Water District was formed by a resolution of the Board of Salt Lake County Commissioners, as was the Magna Water Board respectively. The Magna Water Board of Trustees is the Governing body for the District and is made up of a three member board elected by our customers to serve a four year term. Since it's formation, Magna Water has been servicing the needs of its customers for culinary (drinking) water and sewer services. It has grown from a few hundred connections to more than 9,700 connections. The District continues to master plan to address the growing needs of its population including expansion of a secondary water system to control culinary capital costs and to enhance water conservation efforts. Innovation and responsible thinking make it possible for the District to create long term water resources and supply.
As an approved water supplier, the District meets or exceeds all local, state, and federal mandates and remains current on industry trends and advancements.
