SALT LAKE CITY (AP) -- Snow and rain have Utah's reservoirs and rivers at high levels, but officials are warning that doesn't mean there's an abundance of water.
Cities are asking residents to be conservative with water now and hope there won't be restrictions later.
Officials hope people will continue to use water sparingly, even without drought conditions. Water officials say just because we're in the second year of a wetter cycle, that doesn't mean conservation is going to go away.
As cities continue to grow, water use and demand does as well.
Instead of setting the sprinkler system to water every night, officials say only run the water when it's needed and that will help considerably.
They say a little conservation effort can add up.
