Cottonwood Heights sits on soils formed from mountain runoff along the Wasatch Front. Most yards have loam or clay-loam soil mixed with gravel. These soils often contain calcium carbonate and can form a hard layer below the surface. Flat areas with more clay drain slowly, while sloped areas with more gravel drain faster. The soil is fertile, but drainage should be watched and improved if needed.

Cottonwood Heights does not have a separate secondary irrigation system. All lawn and landscape watering uses treated culinary water supplied by Salt Lake City Public Utilities. Water is billed based on meter size and how much is used. A base service charge applies each month, and the price per unit of water increases as usage goes up. Most homes irrigate through their regular culinary water meter.
Because there is no secondary system to turn on or off, irrigation timing depends on weather. In this area, freezing temperatures usually arrive in late October and last through winter. Temperatures typically rise above freezing again by mid-April. Most homeowners shut off irrigation systems by late October to prevent damage and wait until April or later in spring to resume watering.
Cottonwood Heights does not enforce odd or even watering days. The city follows Salt Lake City conservation guidance. Residents are asked to avoid watering during the hottest part of the day, generally between mid-morning and evening hours, when evaporation is high. Watering a few days per week in summer is recommended. These are guidelines meant to save water, not strict enforcement rules.
Cottonwood Heights does not offer its own irrigation rebate programs. Residents and businesses instead use statewide and regional water-saving programs available in the Salt Lake City service area. These programs support water-wise landscaping and efficient irrigation practices. The city’s role is mainly to share information and encourage participation rather than provide direct rebates.
Any irrigation system in Cottonwood Heights that connects to culinary water must have an approved backflow prevention device. This keeps irrigation water from flowing back into the drinking water system. Common devices include vacuum breakers or reduced-pressure assemblies, depending on the system. These devices must be installed correctly and tested every year. Property owners are responsible for all installation, testing, and maintenance.
