The 21-mile-long Provo Reservoir Canal, which has delivered water from the Provo River to farms and residents of northern Utah County for a century, is finally getting a significant makeover.
When the $130-million project to replace the open channel with a buried 126-in. steel pipeline is complete, area residents who have lived with the benefits and the hazards of the canal will have a new walking and equestrian trail; water users will have a much-improved system; and endangered fish in the Provo River will have more water.
