Biographical History
The Davis & Weber County Canal Company (DWCCC) was established October 1, 1898 to carry Weber River water from Riverdale, Utah, to Kaysville, Utah. The DWCCC was financed by the Peoples Bank & Trust Company through the auspices of the Utah Mortgage & Loan Company of Logan, Utah. Since its creation the DWCCC has built numerous canals and reservoirs, which has resulted in the growth of various agricultural communities and towns along the water routes. Tragedy struck on July 11, 1999, when a breach occurred on the DWCCC irrigation canal near Riverdale, Utah, resulting in the evacuation of hundreds of people, substantial property damage, and a water shortage that affected local culinary and agricultural users. Notwithstanding the accident of 1999, the DWCCC is still in operation today.
