it wouldn't be within a couple of years. There are a lot of stupid people that throw carp into every water they know. It's a weird phenomenon.

I've been tucked away in Sugar house for 8 years. One day I drove through that

I'm still kicking myself for not buying 1000 acres or so over there...I'd be CB

Where else are they supposed to be built?

If you understood the infrastructure issues in the area you'd say stop building

There are these things called humans inhabiting the world. More all the time

There's this thing called water...and the last few years the area is running out

It's not as bad as you are thinking it is. Nothing that other booming Utah areas haven't dealt with before.

It actually is. The guy who buys water rights is a friend. It could get bad

Fill it with dirt and it will move north and flood slc

all you have to do to accomplish that is blow up the dam in Lehi

Nat Gas Man

What dam would that be?

BYU Grounds

there is a small control dam on the Jordan River that regulates how much water

Better solution...actually do some city planning.

Downtown

3/20/17 10:15pm

As beautiful as Europe? Riiiight.

Kerbouchard

3/20/17 10:17pm

Depends on what part of Europe.

chilango

3/20/17 10:19pm

Ask Europeans where they think the most beautiful place is.

Downtown

3/20/17 10:30pm

And the answer won't be Utah County, that's for sure.

Kerbouchard

3/20/17 10:49pm

Comparing a 2,000 square mile county to a continent...

Caboom

3/20/17 10:41pm

Yes, lame comparison. As beautiful as parts of arid southern Spain? Sure.

Kerbouchard

3/20/17 10:51pm

Yeah, that's what I meant...actually I meant Kauai

Downtown

3/20/17 10:52pm

yes, Kauai is as beautiful as certain parts of Europe.

I wouldn't mind exploring an option to dredge the bottom and deepen the lake

3/20/17 10:14pm

The real problem is when the early pioneers brought carp.

Downtown

3/20/17 10:16pm

yep, gotta get rid of the carp that forage off of all the underwater vegetation

Here is a cool video. Just watch the first 90 seconds:

Just blow it up. That'll kill all the carp.

Just image a nice, clean Utah Lake. That would be a real boon to the area.

mudpupper

3/21/17 8:23am

If the lake was half the size but twice as deep it would be a real boon to Utah

HootnHoller

If they only filled Provo and Goshen Bay, it would be an improvement...

As far as lakes go, it's pretty ugly.

Why is that in quotes? Are you quoting yourself?

Because. No.

Turn it into a wiper and pike fishery. The June sucker is toast regardless.

No thanks.

That sounds like it would really help inversion.

Just poison all the fish and start over again with new fish and no carp

The trout are gone for good unfortunately. And there is already a captive
