FOX 13 News 360: The future of Utah Lake

Utah Lake is an important part of the state's ecosystem for wildlife, the economy and outdoor recreation. But decades of neglect have taken their toll.

[@saadr1an]

Building islands on the lake will immediately go down hill, please just restore it and bring it back to its natural formal glory for such a cheaper price

[@Baseballisbest67]

Here’s an idea. “Restore” it back to how it WAS when pioneer showed up.

[@sherrynalder1359]

Absolutely! And, keep the cor of engineer out of it! We dont need the federal government involved

[@garikj766]

I'd go before the pioneers showed up. The Pioneers were the main contributing cause to how the Lake became what it is now. See my post above explaining the timeline cause/effect.

[@JorgeMartinez-nx6oi]

Let's go back before European settlers AKA white people showed up. I like that better.

[@JorgeMartinez-nx6oi]

@@garikj766 I totally agree with you brother!

[@OrangeAppled9]

Drought? Right? No real estate. Restore Utah Lake.

[@charlesdoidge]

Buildings and roads on the lake??? That will not help it...that's just for profits. Disgusting..

[@yonatannazarian3557]

Basically they want to see how businesses can profit from it. They just need to get more water there that's it

[@trihall2273]

It used to have native Cutthroat trout as long as your arm is what my grand father told us kids who grew up on Pooh lake

[@rochead676]

I guess this reporter was going for the "sassy tour guide" voice.

[@fredgervinm.p.3315]

Ppl should be concerned about putting island's in a lake...

[@jayweiss602]

It’s all about a salary & not about reality

[@af31ns]

Your intro music is horrendously loud. I can't even hear your voice.

[@kennethpaciorek5258]

Pay attention to the Sewage pouring into it

[@kennethpaciorek5258]

Audit Provo River Delta Project

[@onenikkione]

the lake needs development and houses for more people spoken like a true developer all they see is $$$$$$

[@stevemuzak8526]

Don't even dare to build anything on that lake. Preserve it, clean it and don't mess with nature.

[@francisvantuyle]

Utah Lake has been thevrecepticsl for sewage treatment. The Orem Steel mill which sent a lot of arsnic,, lead and heavy metals. The Jordan River is an extension of Utah Lake flowing into the great Salt Lake.

[@TheEinsoy]

I liked that phrase '" we need to RESTARE the lake NO real-estate

[@stevewillis1916]

Please no! It’s so beautiful 😭😭😭

[@daniellekellner4779]

Don't build real estate. That's never a fix. Only going to go down hill. Don't make it about money. Keep utah beautiful.

[@royrogers3133]

This is the stupidest idea ever

[@Adroit1911]

After the army corps approval 😂😂😂 that land is protected by our constitution. Them LDS were smarter than the people that started California.

[@wkdewok]

Close tha golf course

[@rm_alfaro]

The color of the water looks awful! Maybe you can start with improving the water quality rather than building islands in the middle of the lake that will only make it more polluted!😏

[@mrepix8287]

The water color is due to wind churning up silt from the lake, as the maximum depth is only 14 feet, not because of pollution or anything human-made

[@starmc26]

Who cares how much it costs... Fix it !!.... And keep other states AWAY from usage.

[@anthonyzavala691]

dumb idea
