Stronger utilities. Safer communities.
UTWARN connects Utah water and wastewater utilities before, during, and after emergencies—so help can move quickly when communities need it most.
Utilities helping utilities
Emergencies rarely respect service boundaries. UTWARN provides a practical mutual-aid framework that helps participating utilities share people, equipment, expertise, and information across Utah.
Prepare together
Build relationships, understand the mutual-aid process, and keep response information ready before an incident.
Respond faster
Connect a utility in need with qualified assistance through a familiar, coordinated request process.
Recover stronger
Help essential water services stabilize, restore operations, and carry lessons forward into future planning.
Built for Utah’s water community
UTWARN supports public and private drinking-water and wastewater utilities of every size—from rural systems to large regional providers.

Local control. Shared capability.
The requesting utility identifies what it needs. A responding utility decides what it can safely provide. UTWARN’s agreement and operating resources give both sides a common structure for coordination, documentation, and reimbursement.
For requesting utilities
Define the incident, the assistance needed, the location, timing, and local point of contact.
For responding utilities
Confirm available personnel or equipment, maintain operational control, and document the response.
