History
Quality Service Since the ’70s
Gorgoza Mutual Water Company was incorporated in the state of Utah on July 22, 1977. We are a mutually owned water company that serves the homes, schools, condominiums, multi-family residences and commercial customers in the Pinebrook and South Ridge subdivisions. Gorgoza began providing water to a few homes in the late 1970’s, when the area was first established. As you can see by the aerial photos (below) the area has grown considerably. We now have approximately 1,600 connections serving an estimated population base of 5,000 people.
Our distribution system has been engineered to meet the significant demands of our environment and topography. A network of wells, tanks, pumps, booster pumps and pressure reducing valves are required to deliver water to residents separated by over 1,000 feet of elevation change, as well as an interstate highway. We encounter sub-freezing temperatures for much of the year, and drought conditions during the summer are common. Your water is supplied by six local wells and one naturally flowing spring. As such, we are dependent on winter snowpack to fill our underground aquifers and conservation efforts from our shareholders to ensure an adequate supply of water. As a measure of safety, we have established interconnections with Summit Water and Mountain Regional water companies in the unlikely event we have an immediate need for water flow that our wells and tank storage cannot supply, i.e. wild fire or residential fires.
