There’s something special about the quiet sound of water pouring over rocks, it seems to affect us on a very primal level. The noise of running water immediately puts people at ease. Living in the high deserts of Utah anyone drawn to the calming presence of water has just a few options, either get outdoors and make their way to the canyon streams or install a water feature on their property.
The idea of a pond is enticing, but the cost of installation and the work of ongoing upkeep can be daunting. We visited the homes of two members of the Utah Water Garden and Koi Club to get a sense of what a prospective pond owner can expect when they finally decide to take the plunge.
For more information about building a water feature of any size visit the website for the Utah Water Garden and Koi Club to meet pond owners who have already gotten their feet wet.
