Our History
Provo River
Watershed Council
The Jordanelle Reservoir Water Quality Technical Advisory Committee (JTAC) was formed in 1982 with representation from over twenty federal, state and local government entities as well as private organizations. The purpose of JTAC was to assist the local government in developing and implementing a Jordanelle – Deer Creek Reservoir/Watershed Management Plan. In 1984 this plan was completed and became the guiding document for JTAC to conduct water quality monitoring, report on watershed conditions, trends and effects of best management practices. In 2005, JTAC changed its name to the Provo River Watershed Council.
