SECONDARY WATER USAGE DROPS BY 26% CITYWIDE
Riverton City would like to extend a sincere "thank you" to all residents who made efforts to reduce their water usage during this historic drought year. The city saw a 26% reduction in usage overall from 2020 to 2021.

  • 2021 Usage: 2,645,395,000 Gallons (8,118 Acre Feet)
  • 2020 Usage: 3,586,752,000 Gallons (11,007 Acre Feet)

With the secondary water irrigation system now shut down for the season, we recommend leaving your ball valve open so your irrigation lines can drain before they freeze this winter. Ball valves will then need to be closed prior to the system starting up next spring.
