SOUTH JORDAN Fred Lampropoulos felt inspired to change how handles his home s and business s landscaping based on a drive he took to Kamas last month.
The president and CEO of Merit Medical Systems saw the drying conditions and how they affected the land around Jordanelle Reservoir. He decided at the moment to cut the amount of water at his home in half and ordered the same for Merit Medical Systems South Jordan campus.
The company also plans to have all of its grass removed by the end of the summer and replaced with more water-wise plants. Lampropoulos said it s actually an idea that was already in the works but Utah s drying conditions made clear how important it was to cut back on unneeded watering.
