Historic canal transformation to provide long-term water reliability and agricultural use while supporting regional growth

Jacobs (NYSE:J) was selected by the Central Utah Water Conservancy District (CUWCD) to provide engineering services for the proposed Strawberry High Line Improvement Project.

The critical water infrastructure program, with an estimated $750 million construction value, is expected to transform the historic Strawberry High Line Canal into a modern, pressurized water system. By replacing the open-water canal with a buried pipeline, the corridor would be repurposed with an integrated regional trail, providing a recreational amenity and improving community connectivity. Additionally, the water conveyance project would serve both agricultural users and growing urban communities across south Utah County and eastern Juab County.
