Salt Lake City, UT — Over 300 medical professionals based in Utah and throughout the country have signed a letter warning Utah policymakers that unless enough water reaches the Great Salt Lake to reverse its recent decline, a serious public health crisis will plague the state’s future. The sign-on letter was delivered ahead of Utah’s 2024 legislative session and urges the state to implement the necessary policies to avert this looming disaster. Utah Physicians for a Healthy Environment, which is one of the plaintiffs in a lawsuit challenging the state’s failure to ensure enough water reaches the lake, coordinated the sign-on letter and delivered it to key policymakers today.
