[size 2][font "Comic Sans MS"][black]We've got a little wager going on here at work. I've stuck my neck out an said that Willard get's it water from Pineview. Some agree with me and some disagree.[/black][/font]

[font "Comic Sans MS"][black]So, is there any of you out there that can clearify this question for us?[/black][/font]

The water that flows into willard is a combination of the weber and Ogden rivers. They meet near the interstate and 12th street. The water can be directed in several diretions from there. Willard is one of the options and down the lower weber to ogden bay is another. I hope this helps. gshorthair

Here you go...

Only a small percentage of the inflow comes from the
natural watershed, though, and much of it is diverted for
agricultural use south of Willard. Most of the inflow comes
in through the Willard Canal, which is a diversion of the
Weber River in Ogden.
