Herrimanology

We're catching up on two weeks of news in today's Herrimanology. City Councilmember Matt Basham talks about the state's water situation, an online dashboard to track your home's water use, and last week's tour of the Jordan Valley Water Conservancy District's 100-million-gallon tank. We also talk about the newly updated transportation master plan, an update on the Herriman Rose Blvd. conversation, and we welcome three new businesses with ribbon cuttings.
