This past week at Rotary Mike Mills from the Utah Water Conservancy District came to speak with us about Utah Lake. Currently, one of the long-time fish living in the lake, the June Sucker, is going extinct because of changes in the Provo River and the introduction of foreign fish (Carp). The June Sucker is native to Utah lake and does not exist anywhere else. Their livelihood is to swim around in schools of fish and while doing this they clean the water. They are considering diverting the end of the Provo river in order to create a healthier delta. This should secure a water supply, improve water quality, better wildlife ha just, and increase lake and recreational access.
