The Jordan River is one of the most important waterways in Salt Lake County, connecting many of our creeks, springs, and streams that feed into the Great Salt Lake. South Salt Lake partners and collaborates with the Jordan River Commission on a shared vision to protect our waterways for wildlife and humans. Our ecosystem relies on a healthy and diverse wildlife population, which needs clean water free from toxins, waste, and contaminants. Clean water is also necessary for safe and fun recreation in and along the river for residents and the public. South Salt Lake works with the Jordan River Commission on educating the public on ways to protect the river and recreate responsibly, and engaging with the public through community events and volunteer opportunities that help enhance this critical riparian habitat and the shared experience by us all.
