Water Conditions in Paragonah
Paragonah taps the same northern Parowan Valley aquifer that supports irrigated alfalfa and grain operations. Snowmelt from the Tushar foothills and Red Creek recharge the alluvial fan, keeping static water levels relatively stable year-over-year.
Paragonah well water is typically low-mineral, cold, and suitable for domestic use without treatment. Some wells closer to the foothills show slightly elevated iron from contact with basaltic rock.
